Governance

The role of governance in the network

The University Maths Schools Network (U-Maths) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales (number 1207125) that exists to advance the education of children, young people, and young adults by mathematically oriented study, supported by University Maths Schools, and with an emphasis on high attainment and widening participation in the mathematical sciences and mathematically rich subjects.

Responsibility for U-Maths ultimately sits with its members, which are the eleven University Maths Schools in England.

The members appoint Trustees who are responsible for ensuring that U-Maths:

  1. Complies with all legal and regulatory obligations
  2. Has a clear strategy to meet its charitable object, mission, and purposes
  3. Maintains oversight of the CIO’s financial performance

Trustees appoint and hold accountable a CEO to implement the organisational strategy for U-Maths.

The Trustees of U-Maths are:
