East London

The East London pilot is based at Queen Mary, University of London in Mile End. It is working closely with nine local schools (listed below) and collaborating with several others. Each partner school is offered an individual programme of activities to suit their needs. The pilot concentrates on four diverse London boroughs: Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham, Newham and Hackney. We are supporting Queen Mary's student outreach programmes and working with local centres for mathematics teacher training.
