Great North Maths Hub

North Tyneside Learning Trust is  one of 35  regional Maths Hubs originally funded by an £11 million investment from the DfE.

About

The Great North Maths Hub was set up in 2014 as part of a national programme funded by the Department for Education and is coordinated by the National Centre of Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM)

The Maths Hub programme, backed by funding from the DfE, has selected 35 school-based hubs across the country. Our objective is to improve maths education for children and teenagers, by developing and increasing collaboration between mathematics education professionals, schools, colleges and universities.

The Great North Maths Hub is led by Churchill Community College and North Tyneside Learning Trust, but our work encompasses all schools and education establishments within Tyne & Wear, Northumberland and County Durham. As leads for the hub it is our role to identify strategic and operational partners, who help plan, deliver and evaluate the hub’s work.

The benefits for schools and colleges engaging with their local Maths Hubs include:

• Access to free or subsidised professional development programmes
• Up-to-date information about all local maths education activities
• Participation in a network of local leaders of maths educations (LLMEs).
