This resource and programme development role is key to the East Maths Community programme and is ideal for a gifted mathematician wanted to develop new inspirational ideas to challenge and inspire young people from KS3 through KS4 into KS5 and beyond. The strong and cohesive central maths team is looking to expand to provide greater support to our schools and beyond.
