“The making the most of manipulatives session is by far the best CPD I have had this year. Always been aware of manipulatives available but not confident in using them to teach.”

“I have managed to easily pick up a lot of new practical strategies/approaches and implement them quickly into the classroom.”

“Really enjoyed this programme. Not too overwhelming or time consuming but very helpful and simple to understand resources and content!”

“I love the dip in dip out thing link. It has increased confidence in trying out new approaches.”

“Best subject specific professional learning I have had during probation year. Resources and links provided have been excellent."
