January 2025 Maths and Statistics Update
Dear Colleagues,

This month we are throwing a spotlight on our Statistics qualifications. We have been busy producing lots of new resources and training to support teachers in delivering these qualifications as well as creating a teacher community on Facebook to share resources and best practice. Find out more below!
Join our Facebook group connecting teachers of statistics
Created for those teaching our GCSE and A level Statistics qualifications to give Statistics teachers a private, professional space to discuss teaching and learning ideas, share resources and ask general questions. Over 70 members have joined this thriving community since its launch in December.
