Chance to join EEF Specialist Knowledge Trial

In the 2025/26 academic year there will be an evaluation of the Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics (Secondary Non-specialist Teachers) Programme, and, subject to final EEF Grants Committee confirmation, the Mastering Number at Reception and KS1 Programme. These programmes were chosen as their structures align both with evaluation methodologies preferred by the EEF, and national priority areas of Early Years and recruitment and retention of secondary maths teachers.

Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub are delighted to be participating in the Secondary Non-specialist Teachers trial for 2025/26. Participating schools, working with us as their local Maths Hub, will be contributing to the evidence base for interventions aiming to address the shortage of mathematics teachers within England.

The programme is for non-maths specialist teachers, and is fully funded.
