Our Spring maths programmes are now well underway and it’s already shaping up to be one of our busiest terms yet! With several programmes already running, new ones launching this week (including in a brand new school in the Isles of Scilly!), and more starting very soon, it’s wonderful to see so many students and schools choosing to work with MathsMakers. From short, focused programmes supporting students ahead of mock exams to longer programmes running right through to GCSEs

On Sunday 11th January, our team came together for a fun and energising get-together! ❄️☕ We kicked things off with tea, coffee, and some snacks before diving into some exciting activities. The highlight of the day? A Dragons’ Den-style challenge, where instructor teams pitched our MathsMakers programmes to a panel of ‘dragons’ - made up of our admin team and 2 new members of staff. 🐉💡 Creativity, teamwork, and big ideas were on full display, with plenty of laughs along the

As our partner schools finish for the term, our MathsMakers programmes are wrapping up too. 💙 Over the past few weeks, students have been taking part in small-group maths tutorials designed to build confidence, strengthen understanding and make it easier to ask questions. Here’s what some of them told us they valued most: “The smaller classes helped it feel easier to ask questions.” “The way the tutor explained made me understand.” “They explain the topics really well and ta

⏰ Only 2 days to go! Picture this: You’re 17. You failed GCSE maths. You’re sitting in a classroom full of other young people who also failed, being taught the same way that didn’t work the first time. Here’s the reality: in the most recent exams, only 1 in 5 students passed their maths re-sit. That means over 80% were told ‘not good enough’ all over again. (Ref: BBC news) We refuse to accept that. 💙 MathsMakers helps young people close those gaps and rediscover their confi

(ref: EPI) 💙 MathsMakers is helping close that gap — giving children confidence, skills, and opportunities for the future. 🎁 Support our #BigGive Christmas Challenge to help more young people reach their potential: 👉...
