Making an impact with Core Maths

The NCETM share why one of the country’s largest post-16 colleges has introduced Core Maths.

Luton Sixth Form College is the oldest sixth form college in the country and is one of the largest, with over 3,000 students. But with high A-level pass rates and an excellent progress score, senior leaders at the college need to be sure that any new qualification introduced is a positive addition to its post-16 provision.

It was within this context that head of maths, Graeme Austin, set about making his case for introducing Core Maths to leaders and, more importantly, ensuring it would be a success.
