The North West FMSP aims to promote mathematics and to support the teaching and learning of AS/A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics in secondary schools and colleges across the North West. In particular, we want to enable all schools and colleges in the North West that teach A level Mathematics to also offer AS/A level Further Mathematics. We also support the teaching and learning of level 3 mathematics within diplomas.
FMSP support includes:
• Student tuition for AS/A level Further Mathematics
• CPD/Teacher Support for AS/A level Mathematics teachers and teachers of mathematics within the level 3 Engineering Dilploma
• Free access to the MEI Resources Website (supporting all AS/A level Mathematics and Further Matheamtics specifications)
• Mathematics enrichment courses for students in Key Stage 4 and post-16
• AS and A2 Mathematics Revision Days (usually in December and May)
• The Senior Team Mathematical Challenge for students in years 12/13 in November
