About Us
The Jurassic Maths Hub
Now in its eleventh year, the Jurassic Maths Hubs brings together mathematics education professionals across Devon, Dorset, Bournemouth-Christchurch-Poole (BCP) in a collaborative network to develop and spread excellent practice through professional development, for the benefit of all pupils and students. We work with all phases from Early Years through to Post-16, in line with the national Maths Hub programme.
We offer a range of professional development Work Groups for teachers to work on an area of practice in a sustained manner and the Hub is also a network for the local mathematics education community. We are committed to equitable classrooms and equitable access to maths PD across our hub region (click here to read our full Equity Statement and Click here to read our Oracy document ). We work closely with Teaching Schools and the school-to-school support that they offer that is often on an individual institution basis. For more information on what a Work Group is please scroll to the bottom of this page.
The Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis is the Lead School for the Jurassic Maths Hub. The Maths Hubs are a structure, within a school led system, for promoting and connecting different schools and organisations that aim to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics through collaborative Professional Development.
The country is divided into various hubs four of which are located in the South West reaching from Gloucestershire to Cornwall. The Hubs work closely together to meet the needs of all schools across the region. A school does not have to belong to a Hub but can choose to join particular work groups, though location is likely to dictate the easiest Hub for this.
If you teach, or are in any way involved in maths education, in the area served by The Jurassic 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 free or funded support from their Maths Hub. To find out which Hub supports your school please click HERE or…..

How do I belong to the Jurassic Maths Hub?
Hubs do not have membership or defined borders. The country is shared into Hub regions and individuals within those regions can join Work Groups or attend events. There is no reason why individuals can not access Work Groups of more than one Hub especially if that suits them geographically.
