Kate Burton MathematicsI am independent consultant operating a highly regarded education business for the past five years successfully leading and advising schools on all aspects of mathematics.

I have a proven track record in supporting schools with improving attainment for fluency, reasoning and problem solving, and strategic subject leadership for mathematics.

Bespoke, carefully tailored support has resulted in improved Ofsted outcomes for schools’ curriculum and leadership. Using the latest research, I write and deliver specific mathematics training which focuses on developing subject knowledge and effective pedagogical approaches.

I support senior and middle leaders with their analysis of performance information, standards of pupils’ work, and evaluation of the quality of teaching and learning. I am able to keep schools updated with current and relevant information from Ofsted.

I also support schools to identifying how to strength their curriculum models and so improve outcomes in Early Years, and test scores.
Through termly updates, I provide schools with information on emerging local and national trends in mathematics.

I am a strategic partner in Click4Teaching working collaboratively with Chris Ogden (English) offering innovative creative learning contexts including STEM.
