Prince's Trust Award for Mathematics

Prince's Trust Award for Mathematics

Nova Hreod Academy / Categories: News

The mathematics faculty has been awarded the Prince’s Trust Award for excellence in teaching. The overall aim of the Trust is to promote a research - focused mathematics department that shares resources with other schools and uses their own research to benefit others. The award recognises Nova’s participation in the Prince’s Trust program, reflecting the mathematics faculty’s willingness as a department to improve practice through research and collaboration.

Mr Watkins has worked hard over the past three years with the Prince’s Trust, by taking part in development programs and preparing a report for the trust in regards to various aspects of Nova Hreod’s curriculum and teaching, focusing on mastery learning. A second report detailed how the department was progressing in terms of objectives set in the first year, focusing on various aspects such as how our schemes of learning moved towards mastery and how our students were getting on with this. Alongside this we also had to share individual resources and research. Mr Watkins has represented the Academy at Trust events and delivered a research proposal focussing on how skill development can improve students’ understanding of topics and problem solving skills in maths. Over the course of this year he will be writing this research and presenting to the Trust and its members.

In this, the third year, Nova Hreod Academy’s mathematics faculty has been awarded “Associate Department” in recognition of our continued participation with the Trust. We will continue to collaborate through the trust to benefit the students here at Nova.
