Who will be leading the group?

Confirmation of the lead facilitator/s will be in Summer Term.

Who can take part?

Schools will have previously participated in a Development Work Group and might have received support for embedding mastery. Participating schools must show strong commitment from their leadership for sustaining mastery approaches, and for most teachers to have already started using these.

Each school will have a lead participant in the Work Group, normally the maths lead. At different points in the year, other teachers will also participate.

What's Involved?

Sustaining Work Groups are a permanent form of support where schools can focus on continued improvement, consistency and refinement of teaching for mastery. Teachers, maths leads and headteachers are all involved, looking at collaborative planning and subject knowledge development. The expectation is that schools remain in a Sustaining Work Group for many years to come.

What will you learn?

You and your school will enhance your mathematical subject knowledge, emphasising key areas of maths
You and your school will plan, teach and reflect on lessons with a mastery approach
You and your school will understand the school-wide structures which enable staff to develop mastery approaches
You and your school leaders will establish systems to support ongoing professional learning within school
