Liverpool Maths Outreach Team

Find out more about the Outreach team and the work they do.

The University of Liverpool Maths Outreach Team is a group of staff and students committed to providing interactive and enriching mathematics to school pupils from Year 1 up to Year 13. The  Outreach work is led by Chris Marchant and Michael Jones.

Both are graduates of the Department. Chris returned to take up the post of Outreach Officer in 2006 after gaining several years’ experience as a secondary mathematics teacher. He is now the Outreach Manager for the School of Physical Sciences. Michael joined the Outreach Team in 2008, and is now the School of Physical Sciences’ Outreach Coordinator.

Outreach is an important staple of the Department’s activities and we typically spend 70 – 80 days per annum visiting schools and working on collaborative projects, reaching between 8,000 and 10,000 pupils in each academic year. We work with very diverse groups of pupils, from a variety of backgrounds, including looked-after children, and Widening Participation cohorts, as well as high achieving pupils.
