Our Problem-Solving Schools initiative supports teachers wanting to embed problem solving in their curriculum at a departmental or school level, using our Problem-Solving Schools Charter as a framework.
Who is eligible?
The Problem-Solving Schools network is free to join and is open to all schools. The resources, support and guidance cover both primary and secondary mathematics.
How to join the Problem-Solving Schools initiative
The first step to registering as a Problem-Solving School is to create your school's account. You will be invited to provide key details about your school, and then asked to set a password.

The next step is to undertake an initial self-evaluation of your provision, in collaboration with colleagues in your school/department. The Charter self-evaluation tool will help you identify your current areas of strength, and area(s) for development.

What happens next?
Once you have set up your account, you will be able to log onto the Problem-Solving Schools Hub. This is where you will be able to upload the results of your initial self-evaluation.
Your initial review will give you a reference point to help you assess your school’s future progress and achievements, as you continue developing your problem-solving provision.
On the Hub, you will also be able to:
- access and update all your information
- view your previous self-evaluation(s) and chosen area(s) for development
- monitor progress from one self-evaluation to the next
- keep a record of discussions and decisions made with colleagues
- easily access our problem-solving resources and announcements
- download a Problem-Solving Schools badge to display on letterheads and webpages
You will receive our regular NRICH newsletter alongside specific Problem-Solving Schools updates.
