NCETM Newsletter - September 2025

In this month’s newsletter, read about the phenomenal success of our programme, Securing Foundations at Year 7, and how you can take part in 2025/26.

In a new blog post, Jane Hawkins, Associate Deputy Director for Secondary, introduces the new Oracy in mathematics framework, which presents the foundational principles of oracy in a teaching for mastery context.

Whether you’re a returning visitor or completely new to us, we’ve put together a round-up of the week’s themes and how you can make the most of what we offer.

If you or one of your colleagues is an Early Career Teacher, we introduce our Early Career Teacher Expertise in Teaching Maths Modules, available through your local Maths Hub.

Following the publication of the Ofsted mathematics subject report, our final focused guide, Developing deep understanding, is now available. It explores coherence in maths teaching and learning from Early Years to post-16, including FE. Do take time to read it, and catch up with the rest of the series.

Finally, we point you towards some items of mathematical news worth a look.

Our newsletter is emailed to subscribers: if you didn’t get yours, you can subscribe, or contact us if you have any difficulties.
