The trust is the lead in the Yorkshire and Humber Maths Hub, which has developed a national profile, led by Kathryn Greenhalgh, OGAT’s Senior Maths Director who recently chaired one of the government’s Workload Review Groups. Outwood Academy Adwick was judged to be ‘outstanding’ in every category by Ofsted in February 2016.
