BM4 Role out in Stoke and Staffs Maths teacher William Johnson- Vaughan from Excel Academy: Our students often question the relevance and importance of some of the aspects of the Maths curriculum, however once they are able to see an organisation like Stoke City Football Club using it on a day to day basis, it helps them understand. Head of Community at Stoke City FC Adrian Hurst said: As an employer it can be quite fearful trying to think about how you can make the workplace more accessible and relevant to the curriculum, but by working alongside subject specific teachers, we have been able to develop a series of Stoke City related lesson plans that brings to life the reality of how some of the key maths skills are used in the workplace. Inspire. Prepare. Succeed.
