The academic year 2016-17 was one of outstanding achievement for the sigma Mathematics Support team at Coventry University. We had a further increase in the take-up of sigma’s range of services by students from all faculties and our feedback has been enthusiastically positive. Above all, the team has taken some innovative approaches to support and inspire Coventry’s ever-growing body of students and staff. This article aims to provide insight into our services and to provide perhaps some inspiration and ideas that other support centres can use.References
