Origin Maths Hub - Primary and Secondary Opportunities starting January 2023!
Origin Maths Hub offer mathematics professional and school development opportunities from early years through to post 16 and ITT education that are fully funded by the government and therefore free for schools to attend.
To consider how your school could benefit and get involved please browse their website https://originmathshub.tgacademy.org.uk/ or take a look at our 2022 catalogue!
It's not too early to register your interest in opportunities starting in September 2023, and there is a limited number of spaces left for some opportunities starting in January and February.
Here's a spotlight on a few of our opportunities that still have spaces for this academic year:
- Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics - Primary Teachers Programmes: These free programmes are designed to support primary teachers with mathematics subject knowledge and pedagogy that can be taken straight into the classroom.
There are two pathways:
- Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics - Secondary Early Career Teacher Community: This free programme is designed to expand on the subject specialism teaching from Early Career Teachers’ (teachers in their first two years of teaching) training years and to further develop their specialist knowledge for teaching mathematics relating to number, drawing in associated pedagogy, and helping them include lesson analysis and lesson design in their practice.

- Year 7-11 Coherence Work Group: This free Work Group gives participants the opportunity to work collaboratively to analyse, deconstruct and trace the topic of 'fractions' through the curriculum; developing a deeper understanding of the topic, common misconceptions, and how to build a more sustained understanding for pupils all the way into GCSE. This can support a whole school approach to the teaching of fractions from year 7-11. Find out more and register your interest
- Mathematical Thinking for GCSE Work Group: This free Work Group supports teachers in developing their understanding and skills in mathematical thinking, relating to problem-solving and reasoning in GCSE Maths. A very useful group for any maths teachers with KS4 year groups on their timetable. Find out more and register your interest
- Developing Core Maths Pedagogy Work Group: This free Work Group will give teachers the opportunity, through collaboration and experimentation, to develop improved teaching approaches that support the open-ended problem-solving skills Core Maths students need to develop in order to succeed. The group also focuses on how these approaches can be shared with departmental colleagues. Sign up here
- Supporting Post 16 GCSE Resit Work Group: This free Work Group will bring together teachers of post 16 GCSE resit to share what is working well in this area and look at other approaches to engage GCSE resit students. Sign up here
