Who can take part?
The community is for secondary heads of department/subject leaders, and is open to heads of department in schools already involved with Maths Hubs and to those who are not yet involved.
Subject leaders play a vital role in shaping departmental vision, culture and practice, and driving improvements in student outcomes. This project provides an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of effective teaching approaches, their wider leadership responsibilities, and their capacity to work with colleagues to transform secondary maths learning.
To reduce travelling time for participants, local communities are available in Mid/East Devon, North/West Devon, Dorset/BCP and for special schools.
Subject leaders are welcome to join any of these communities. There is also a dedicated community for special schools, held in Dorset.

What is the cost?
The Secondary Subject Leadership project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to attend for participating state schools.
What this programme offers
Participants will collaborate with other subject leaders, explore research and new developments, and use these insights to inform and strengthen their leadership of maths education in school.
Expectations
Participants and their schools are expected to commit to the equivalent of three days of workshops plus additional work in school. This will include hub-based meetings and workshops (which may be a mix of face-to-face and online), school-based tasks, and participation in an online community. It is expected that activity associated with this project is sustained over the school year, across two terms at least.
