Camilla is Professor of Mathematical Cognition at Loughborough University and Director of the ESRC Centre for Early Mathematics Learning. Her research focuses on understanding how we learn and process mathematical ideas and what this means for mathematics education. This work has a particular focus on cognitive and environmental influences on numeracy development. Camilla completed a BSc at the University of Nottingham, MSc at the University of Reading and DPhil at the University of Oxford. Following this, she worked as a postdoc in the Psychology Department at Harvard University, and as a research fellow at the University of Nottingham before moving to Loughborough University in 2011.

Helen founded and led Ark’s Mathematics Mastery programme to empower and equip teachers to bring research insights to classroom practice. The programme has evidence of significant impact from an Education Endowment Foundation randomised controlled trial. It has built a national collaborative partnership of over 500 primary and secondary schools and underpins the Maths Hubs teaching for mastery approach. Helen has over a decade of experience as a maths teacher and leader. She holds a PhD in maths education, has advised government on curriculum and assessment and has written several books on evidence-informed teaching. She is Dean of Maths Excellence with Purposeful Ventures and a member of the Royal Society’s Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education. Helen co-led the Maths Horizons Review with David Monis-Weston.

With more than 20 years’ experience in the sector, Eluned has specialised in designing and delivering large-scale national and international programmes, including Oak National Academy, Teach First’s Training Programme, the English national curriculum, and a performing arts collaboration between The Juilliard School and Nord Anglia Education. Her work focuses on practical implementation: building resources, professional development and delivery models that help teachers adopt effective approaches at scale. Eluned holds a Master of Education (Leadership and Management) with Distinction from The Open University. Beyond her education roles, she sings with the CBSO Chorus and has served on the board of The Stringcredibles, an independent quartet of orchestral musicians and educators.

Michael is Chief Mathematician at Axiom Maths, where he has been involved from the outset in shaping the programme: defining the curriculum principles and sequence, setting the pedagogical foundations, and designing the materials that underpin each maths circle session. A core thread of his work is broadening participation and sustaining excellence for high-attaining pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds - the driving mission of Axiom’s Maths Circles programme and research on the “missing mathematicians.” Michael has taught mathematics for many years at Westminster School.
