Master Maths Together
VENN ESSEX MATHS HUB
welcome to venn essex maths hub
Welcome to the Venn Essex Maths Hub. Our aim is to ensure that all pupils, teachers and leaders have access to support, training, and innovation that will improve the enjoyment and achievement of mathematics, from Early Years through to the post 16 sector.
The Maths Hubs programme is Department for Education funded and led by the NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics). We bring together mathematics education professionals in a collaborative national network of 40 Hubs each locally led by an outstanding school or college, to develop and spread excellent practice, for the benefit of all pupils and students.
The Venn Essex Maths Hub is led by St Thomas More’s Catholic Primary School, an outstanding primary school in the heart of Colchester. With a dedicated team of operational partners who help carry out the Hub’s work, we work very closely with our Strategic Partners, who help plan and evaluate the Hub’s work. We work with successful, established mathematics communities across the Essex region as well as national partners and mathematics associations.
Our Maths Hub covers the Essex area including Southend and Thurrock.
JOINING A MATHS HUB
If you teach, or are in any way involved in maths education, in the area served by Venn Essex Maths Hub, then you are already part of our hub. This includes teachers in all phases from Early Years to post-16, teaching assistants, senior leaders, and anyone else involved in the maths education of young people. All these people teaching in state-funded schools can access support from their Maths Hub.
You don’t need to do anything in order to join the hub, but if you would like to get involved in our work then please get in touch with us. We offer a wide variety of events and professional development opportunities, as well as providing updates on our work via social media and email.
