Nampak Hazeley Maths Challenge – going national!
On Wednesday 13th March I had the exciting challenge of joining forces with Marie Martin fromNampak and pitching the Nampak Hazeley Maths Challenge to nine Nampak sites from across the UK. The year 8 challenge spans 6 lessons and provides students with “real life” Nampak factory data, requiring students to use data handling skills to put together a report ranking the nine sites across the UK according to productivity. Teams producing the winning report from each class face a boardroom of judges to select the final winner using differentiated criteria, to ensure every team has a fair chance of winning. The winning team get a tour around the Nampak factory, see below, as well as a great prize!
This summer, the challenge will be running in schools in: Co. Durham, Glasgow, Ballymena (Co. Antrim), Manchester, Stonehouse (Gloucestershire), London, Chadwell Heath (Kent), Foston (Derbyshire) and, of course, Milton Keynes. Will keep you posted on progress! The Nampak Maths Challenge has been developed and run here successfully by the Maths Dept for the last two years. Radcliffe joined in last year and we both hope to run it again this year. In addition, each of the nine Nampak sites across the UK also plan to run the Nampak Hazeley Maths Challenge this summer with one partner school this year, and more the next.

We were delighted to host the Wates Business Symposium, where chief executive Paul Drechsler (see photo below) joined business-led charity Business in the Community to showcase the Business Class initative and share best practice in business-education collaboration. A national champion of the Business Class programme, Wates is now in its second year of collaboration with The Hazeley Academy. During our partnership students have benefitted from monthly mentoring sessions and literacy workshops with Adissa, an inspirational poet, and have supported literacy in year 7 and 8 by providing all students with their own dictionary. Wates have also funded enterprise money for students to raise money for future dictionaries.
