Lynne McClure, OBE

Lynne set up the Cambridge Mathematics project and team in 2015, as a partnership between the (then) Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Assessment and the University of Cambridge Faculties of Mathematics and Education. Her role developed from being the initial writer and designer of content and structure for the Cambridge Maths Framework to managing the team of writers, researchers, designers and administrators in the wide range of national and international activity undertaken by Cambridge Maths.

Lynne has always been involved in mathematics education in one form or another. She started as a secondary teacher, morphed into a primary head teacher and spent many years leading initial teacher education at the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh. For ten years she ran her own consultancy, supporting teachers, designers, researchers and policymakers in mathematics education, both in the UK and internationally. She moved to Cambridge to take up the role of Director of NRICH and subsequently that of Director of Underground Maths, before moving almost seamlessly to lead Cambridge Mathematics for seven years until August 2022. She is now Head of Mathematics Solutions at Cambridge Partnership for Education.

Lynne has been, and is, a member of many committees and national and international advisory boards, several of which she chairs. In addition to these she has recently taken on the role of Chair of Governors of the planned new Cambridge Maths School.
