The Further Mathematics Network:
The Further Mathematics Network is a new DfES-funded initiative to establish 40-50 Further Mathematics Centres across England. The primary functions of these Centres are to set up and provide teaching and tutoring of Further Mathematics AS/A-level to students in schools and colleges that couldn't otherwise offer it and to support students and teachers in schools and colleges that do teach Further Mathematics.
More about the Further Mathematics Network
Each Centre will also have a role in promoting Mathematics in general by organising initiatives to help attract more students into post-16 Mathematics, and a responsibility to provide CPD (Continued Professional Development) to teachers to help them teach Further Mathematics in their own schools and colleges.
The collection of Further Mathematics Centres makes up the ‘Further Mathematics Network’. The funding of the Network is being managed by MEI (Mathematics in Education and Industry) who were responsible for the Gatsby Charitable Foundation-funded pilot phase of the project,"Enabling Access to Further Mathematics". Each Centre will receive a support from a central team employed by MEI and will make use of resources and systems developed during its pilot phase (see resources.mei.org.uk : a resources site to support AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics).
