Weston College has been named among the first 21 colleges to establish a maths centre of excellence.
The new centres were announced last year in response to Sir Adrian Smith’s review of post-16 maths education, which recommended improving basic maths for people over 16.
The chosen colleges, which will share £40 million of funding over five years, are spread across the country. Weston College is one of only two centres in the South West.
As well as improving the quality of basic maths provision for low-attaining young people over 16, the new centres will design new teaching approaches, develop high-quality resources, build teachers’ skills and spread best practice.
Weston College Principal and CEO, Dr Paul Phillips, said: "This is fantastic news – not just for Weston College and our learners, but also the wider community in North Somerset and beyond.
“Becoming a maths centre of excellence will allow us to revitalize our maths provision, and develop new resources for our learners.
“Being one of only 21 providers awarded the funding is a great honour and reinforces our national reputation for high-quality education.”
