We were delighted to welcome Dr Debbie Morgan CBE (Director of Primary at NCTEM) and Helen Jones (Assistant Director of Primary at NCTEM) from the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) to St Peter’s this week. They visited as part of St Peter’s contribution at a national level to the development of resources to support the delivery of mastery teaching for mixed age classes in Key Stage Two. This work has been led by our Assistant Headteacher and maths specialist Miss Crankshaw. As well as filming one of her lessons they also interviewed Miss Crankshaw and some of the children from Ravens class about the materials and the approach that will go to support schools across the country with teaching for mastery with mixed age classes. Dr Morgan commented how impressed she was with the children’s ability to articulate their thinking and explain things in multiple ways. A huge thank you to Miss Crankshaw for leading this work and to all the children in Ravens class for sharing their shine so brightly with a film crew at the back of their class.
