"It was really helpful - thank you! I’ve always wondered why the fluency tasks seem so straightforward compared to the maths sheets, but actually it makes a lot of sense to have an ongoing focus on the ‘building blocks’. Much appreciated session."
"The training session was very useful. It was great to understand more about school's approach to teaching maths and also to learn how can we at home support our children. Mr Elliott used great examples to bring us closer his teaching methods."
"It was a really useful and engaging session, thank you!"
"I found it really interesting and insightful - thank you."
"I found the session really useful. It covered all of the key points I was looking to understand better, especially the language and methods used in class. Thank you Mr Elliott."
"I was impressed by how much knowledge the teachers have and how they put it into practice."
