North Mids Maths Hub – SEND Regional Network Meeting
- Date: Tuesday 2nd June 2026
- Time: 9:30 – 14:30
- Venue: Wightwick Hall School, Tinacre Hill, Wolverhampton, WV6 8DA.
We are excited to be holding our first SEND Network Meeting for this academic year, where you will get an opportunity to meet face to face with colleagues from across the North Mids Maths Hub area. If your school is located within Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent or Walsall, we would love to see you there.
The day will provide you with an opportunity to find out about the SEND work of the NCETM, which now involves hundreds of special schools across England, and will showcase examples of maths developments from special schools, including a session led by Kat Adams from Rocklands School. You will also have the opportunity to network with SEND colleagues and you will be signposted to the free help that is available to support you as you seek to develop the teaching of mathematics in your school.

Please feel free to email us at mathshub@painsley.staffs.sch.uk if you have any further queries.
We look forward to working with you.
