Hello Colleague

The final summer 2024 exams have now finished, congratulations and well done to all of you for the hard work you’ve put in throughout the year. Our examiners are now busy in the process of marking and grading the papers. 

Our post-exam surveys are still open for another week and we’d be very glad to hear your feedback about any aspect of the series. If you’ve not already, please visit our webpage to complete a survey (and you could win a £50 voucher if you do…). 

As always, if you have any queries or we can give you any further support, please get in touch. Our role is to support you as you deliver our qualifications. 

We wish you a relaxing summer break ahead. 😊

Ambassador centres

Would you be interested in getting closer to us and becoming an ambassador for maths?

We’re looking for up to 10 centres from across the country to become ambassador centres for us, giving you direct access to our support and much more.

As an ambassador centre you’ll get membership to our maths consultative forums (usually held twice a year) to gain qualification insight and guide future developments, the opportunity to give feedback through Recollective (our teacher consultative panel), invitations to our future maths events and also the opportunity to recommend the future resources and training that we develop to support centres across the country. We’ll also be able to directly support you with qualification information and expertise.

In return, we’d ask for your feedback on our qualifications and support, as well as to allow us to host regional maths teacher network meetings (at least one per year) from your centre.

Are you interested? Get in touch with your centre name and a sentence or two about why you’re keen to become an ambassador centre, then we’ll do the rest. 😊
