Everything you need to support exam readiness

Welcome to the Summer Term Maths Update. With exams fast approaching, I know how focused and pressured these final weeks can feel. Please be assured you’re not facing them alone. The Subject Support team are here to support you and your students every step of the way, whether that’s with assessment guidance, classroom‑ready resources, CPD or advice on next steps. All our support is free, and you can access everything you need quickly and easily through All About Maths.

Looking ahead to next year, I’m excited to share the launch of our new UAS units linked to the Level 2 Further Maths qualification. Below, we explain why these units have been introduced and how they help to recognise and celebrate progress.

If you’d like to talk anything through, you can book a Free at 3? session . This gives you 20 minutes with one of the Subject Support team, at a time that suits you.

We’re really looking forward to continuing to work with you through the rest of this term and beyond.

Coming soon - new maths revision resources

Revision can feel overwhelming when students are unsure where to start or what to focus on. To support this, we’re introducing two new revision resources for all our maths qualifications, designed to bring clarity, confidence and calm to exam preparation.

Checklists

Break revision down into manageable, examinable sections so students know exactly what to revise and where to focus their efforts.

Practice Mats

Provide short, accessible AQA‑style questions for key revision moments, helping students feel calm, confident and ready to begin.

Proud Sponsors of the MEI FE Maths Challenge

We're proud sponsors of the MEI FE Maths Competition, a national event designed to challenge Further Education students with engaging mathematical problem‑solving tasks.

The final took place on 21 April, bringing together students from centres across the country to celebrate mathematical thinking, teamwork, and perseverance.

We'd like to congratulate everyone who reached this stage of the competition, and offer special congratulations to the teams at Oldham College, London South East Colleges (LSEC) and West Thames College, who were recognised as winners across the different competition levels. An impressive achievement all round.
