Welcome to our Autumn 2025 newsletter

Welcome back to the new term, I hope that it’s started well for you. We appreciate how busy this time of year is, and we want to make sure that you have all the information you need to support you through the coming year.

We’ve got a wealth of free events taking place this term, some looking back over the summer 2025 exams, and others to support you through GCSE resits, mock exams and the start of the new school year.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at various training events this term and receiving the Government’s Curriculum and Assessment review when it’s published. We love talking to you and helping you to inspire the next generation of mathematicians!

If any members of your team would like to receive subject-specific updates, they can easily sign up for AQA subject updates, so they’re always informed and part of our community.
