Kent and Medway Maths Hub

What Kent and Medway Maths Hub does

Kent and Medway Maths Hub is a UK government-funded regional educational professional development network operating as part of the national Maths Hubs programme administered by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) and funded by the Department for Education. The Hub is administered through Leigh Academies Trust and is based in Rochester, United Kingdom, with a small core team of 5 employees. It serves all state-funded primary, secondary, and Post-16 schools across 12 Local Authority Districts in Kent and Medway, including Ashford, Canterbury, Dartford, Dover, Gravesham, Medway, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Shepway, Swale, Tonbridge and Malling, Tunbridge Wells, and Thanet.

The Hub's core offering is the Teaching for Mastery Programme, delivered through locally-based Work Groups led by expert practitioners. The programme covers principles, curriculum design, lesson design, classroom practice, productivity, support, and assessment, with separate streams for Primary and Secondary & Post-16 schools. Supporting products include the Primary Self-Evaluation Tool (a diagnostic PDF resource) and KS2 to KS3 Transition Support. Delivery emphasises collaborative, exploratory, evidence-based professional development continuing through the academic year rather than one-off top-down training, with Work Group participation applied for annually by schools.

The business model is grant-funded rather than commercial: the Hub receives public funding through the national Maths Hubs programme and provides all professional development services free of charge to state-funded schools. There is no pricing model, no commercial revenue stream, and no external investment. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on direct school engagement via the Hub's website, email newsletters, Google Forms applications, and the NCETM national platform for visibility.
