The remit for this initiative has changed this year largely due to funding cuts and a reorganisation of resources. However the enrichment activities organised by the Centre manager, Paul Dale, proved to be very popular with schools, teachers and students. As a result, the University of Derby has recognised this and is very pleased to continue to support these events. The Support Centre for Further Maths which will be based at the university and will be the vehicle to support the enrichment and out-reach program for A level and further mathematics.
