Sponsor Mr Barton Maths
One sponsor at a time, across the website, the podcast and the Tips for Teachers newsletter. Your support keeps everything free for teachers and students.
- 100,000website page views a month this autumn term
- 16,000Tips for Teachers newsletter subscribers
- 8,000listens per podcast episode, on average
- 230+podcast episodes, and free resources since 2007
One sponsor, three places
Everything on Mr Barton Maths is free, with no logins and no pop-up adverts. I took the ads off because they distracted students and annoyed teachers.
Instead, one organisation at a time sponsors the whole thing: the website, the podcast and the Tips for Teachers newsletter. Your name is the only one there, in front of teachers who use these resources every week.
The strip sits under the page header, away from the resources, so it never appears on a projected question or a printed worksheet.
What every sponsorship includes
The same three things in every package. Only the length, and the number of podcast episodes, changes.
-
The website
About 50,000 views a month
- A “supported by” strip with your logo, one line and a link
- On the homepage and the site’s busiest pages (listed below)
- The only sponsor on the site
- Part of the page, so ad-blockers don’t hide it
-
The podcast
About 8,000 listens per episode
- A 30-second introduction I read at the start of the episode
- Your link at the top of the show notes
- A thank-you at the end
- Episodes stay in the feed, so listens keep growing for years
-
The newsletter
16,000 subscribers
- Your logo and a short message at the top of the Tips for Teachers newsletter
- In every edition sent during your sponsorship
- Read by teachers of every subject and by school leaders

Who you’ll reach
People who teach, choose resources and plan CPD, mostly in UK schools.
- Maths teachersMostly secondary (ages 11 to 16), plus primary and A level. They use the website to plan lessons and project resources in class.
- Heads of maths and school leadersThe people who choose resources, software and CPD for their department or school. Many listen to the podcast and read the newsletter.
- Teachers of every subjectThe podcast and the newsletter cover teaching and learning in general, not only maths.
- Mostly in the UKTwo thirds of search visits come from the UK, followed by Australia, the US, New Zealand and Canada. Three quarters are on a laptop or desktop: teachers at work.
How it works
Three things to send, then I do the rest.
- 1
Your logo, line and link
A logo (SVG, or PNG at least 400 px wide), one line of up to 12 words and the link it should go to. I lay out the strip and the newsletter message to match the site, so there’s no banner to design. A link with UTM tags lets you track clicks in your own analytics.
- 2
Points for the podcast
Three or four bullet points and something listeners can search for later (“just search for…”). I read the introduction in my own words, which is why listeners trust it. I’ll share upcoming guests and topics so you can choose your episodes.
- 3
Go live, then a report
Your strip goes live on the first day of your sponsorship. At the end of each month you get the views of every page carrying the strip, and listens for your episodes.

Questions
The things sponsors usually ask first.
Can I sponsor just the podcast, or just the website?
No. There’s one offer, so the sponsor is the same everywhere: on the website, in the podcast and in the newsletter. That’s what makes it worth having, and it keeps things simple for everyone.
Why a slim strip and not a big banner?
Teachers project these pages in front of their classes, and students use them on their own. A big banner would get in the way of the maths, and teachers would stop trusting the site. A calm strip that names one sponsor is noticed, remembered and well thought of.
When do my podcast episodes come out?
During your sponsorship, on dates we agree when you book. I’ll share the guests and topics coming up so you can choose the ones that suit you. The conversations themselves stay independent.
Can I change my line or link during the sponsorship?
Yes. Send me the new version and I’ll swap it within two working days, at no charge.
Is there a minimum commitment?
One month. Longer sponsorships cost less per month and get more podcast episodes.
What about the summer holidays?
July and August are much quieter on the website because schools are closed. A one-month sponsorship that starts in July or August is half price.
Who can sponsor?
Organisations whose work is useful to teachers and schools: publishers, exam boards, edtech, CPD and conference providers, universities and similar. Children use this site, so I only take sponsors that are suitable for a school setting.
