Maths Hubs Mobius

Supporting Maths in Special Schools and SEND Provisions

Möbius Maths Hub is committed to ensuring that high-quality maths education is for every learner.

Across special schools and SEND provisions, teaching mathematics comes with unique opportunities, challenges and rewards - and the right support can make a powerful difference.

Our focus is on supporting all pupils to build confidence, enjoy learning maths and achieve - whatever their starting point or individual needs.

We bring together teachers from mainstream schools, special schools and alternative provision to share ideas, learn from one another and try out approaches that help pupils with SEND take part in maths lessons, work through barriers and make real progress.

Together, the NCETM and Mobius Maths offer support that recognises the diversity of SEND settings and learners. This includes:

  • professional development programmes specifically designed for special schools

  • guidance on adapting teaching for mastery to meet a wide range of needs

  • support for leaders developing a coherent maths curriculum

  • opportunities to work alongside other special schools and SEND practitioners, sharing expertise and practice

The focus is not on “lowering expectations”, but on deepening understanding, building mathematical thinking and enabling pupils to engage meaningfully with maths at their own pace and level.
