OUR REVIEW
In its first phase, Maths Horizons was chaired by Lord Lionel Tarassenko and co-led by Dr Helen Drury and David Monis-Weston. The Executive Group brought together representation from across the education sector and beyond. It included practitioners, leaders and experts from primary, secondary, further education, higher education and industry.
The members of the Executive Group all acted in an independent capacity and not as direct representatives of their affiliated organisations. The group met regularly to develop the overall analysis and facilitate input and challenge from across the sector. The Terms of Reference can be found here.

As part of the consultation for Maths Horizons, we reached out to a wide range of experts and practitioners across education, academia and industry. Our goal was to gather a rich mix of knowledge, expertise, and critical perspectives.
A series of investigations asked the following questions:
-
What is the impact of our maths curriculum and assessment on learners?
-
How can we improve the sequencing and quality of the maths curriculum that all pupils follow to age 14?
-
How can we better support students who are currently underserved by the maths curriculum and assessment regime in England?
-
How can we better support students for the maths excellence pathway?
-
How well is our 5-18 maths curriculum and assessment preparing students for the world of work?
The outcomes of this review were published in our report How England should reform maths education for the age of AI.
