Service Description

Maths Subject Leader Meetings are an essential opportunity for primary educators to strengthen their leadership and ensure high-quality maths teaching across the school. These sessions provide valuable updates on curriculum developments, assessment strategies, and effective teaching approaches that support deep mathematical understanding. As a core subject, maths plays a vital role in developing pupils’ problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and confidence in applying knowledge to real-life situations. By attending these meetings, teachers can share best practices, explore new resources, and collaborate with colleagues to raise standards and inspire a love of maths in every classroom. Facilitated by Gemma Briggs and Vicki John-Lewis from the South Yorkshire Maths Hub, on behalf of RoSIS and Learn Sheffield, Maths Subject Leader Network Meetings for primary schools are scheduled as follows: Autumn - with a focus on Inclusion by Design - structuring lessons to prevent barriers before they arise, ensuring all pupils - especially those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) - can engage fully and actively.
