As you are all aware, we have been working closely with the Cambridge Maths Hub for several years, 6 to be exact. We have embarked on the Sustaining Mastery project this year, which supports us to continue to embed and sustain teaching for mastery approaches with fidelity and consistency, making effective use of high-quality resources.
