Teaching for Mastery Primary Specialist with the Central Maths Hub
We are delighted to congratulate Alex Bennett at Northfield Road Primary School on his appointment as a Teaching for Mastery Primary Specialist with the Central Maths Hub.
This is a fantastic achievement and reflects the strength of Alex’s classroom practice and his commitment to developing high-quality mathematics teaching. During a recent visit to Northfield Road, Maths Hub Leads were particularly impressed when observing Alex teach his Reception class. His confidence, clarity and thoughtful approach to developing young children’s mathematical understanding, alongside his desire to support the practice of other teachers and schools, really stood out. He will now begin his training year with the Hub and wider NCETM development team, before leading his own Teaching for Mastery Work Groups in 2027/28.
Alex’s appointment is also a wonderful reflection of the growing expertise and commitment to Teaching for Mastery across Northfield Road. The school has continued to develop its approach to mathematics, and Alex’s success demonstrates the impact of this ongoing work. His appointment also further strengthens Stour Vale’s Teaching for Mastery capacity across the Trust, where we now have four other Primary and six Secondary Teaching for Mastery Specialists working within our schools.
We look forward to seeing Alex share his expertise and support other teachers and schools through his new role.
Congratulations, Alex!
