Who can take part?
This opportunity is aimed at teachers of previously higher-attaining students in secondary schools with a high proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Schools must commit to releasing at least one teacher to attend all sessions, to trial strategies in the classroom and to share learning with colleagues.
Participants will work with local colleagues, supported by their Maths Hub and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), to explore strategies and teaching approaches that promote high attainment and motivation.

What is the cost?
The Work Groups, run by the Maths Hubs Programme, in partnership with the AMSP, are free to attend for participating state schools and colleges.
What this programme offers
These Work Groups are designed to help schools increase the number of students – particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds – achieving higher grades in GCSE Mathematics and progressing to study maths at Level 3.
Expectations
Participants’ schools must release them to attend all Work Group sessions, and allow students to participate in additional AMSP activities. Participants must attend all Work Group sessions and complete school-based tasks between sessions. Participants will be expected, where appropriate, to work with colleagues in their own department to refine their practice, and to enable students to attend the study days.
