We’re delighted to share that James Lansdale-Clegg will be joining us from the start of January as our Director of Educational Projects.
James joins the leadership team to drive the delivery of our expanding portfolio of projects. He will play a key role in turning ideas into reality and ensure we keep momentum across a suite of projects.
Alongside working with schools, James will collaborate with education suppliers, publishers, government organisations and partners to develop high-quality advice, content and services. He’ll work closely with the Managing Director and leadership team to make sure our work is focused, expertly crafted and genuinely useful for teachers in the classroom.
James brings a deep understanding of the education landscape, alongside a practical and thoughtful approach to delivery. His role will add an extra layer of assurance across our work, with a clear focus on quality and coherence that strengthens and supports the excellent work already happening across the team.
Caroline Hamilton, CEO, said:
“We’re proud of the work we do and proud of the standards we set ourselves. James is someone who consistently delivers high-quality work, even under pressure. He brings focus, expertise, and care – and I’m really excited to have him on board.”
Mary-Kate Connolly, Managing Director, added:
“I’m genuinely excited to be working with James again. He’s someone who gets things done, on time and to a high standard. It’s great to have him joining the team.”
James joins at a time of real momentum for Rethink Maths. Following several appointments made before Christmas, we’re preparing for a busy and exciting 2026. There’s plenty happening behind the scenes and we’re looking forward to sharing more about what we’re building in the near future.
If you’re working on a maths project (UK or international) and would like our support – whether that’s shaping ideas, developing exceptional maths content or delivering at scale – James would love to hear from you.
