I have delivered ECC training for the past 12 years and have also been Headteacher of a one form entry primary school for the last seven years. We found the ECC interventions to be highly effective in our school; they boost the confidence of our teaching assistants in supporting pupils with maths both within class lessons and in delivering the intervention. Teachers notice a huge improvement in pupil engagement and use of mathematical language following participation in the programmes and the children themselves enjoy the sessions and feel proud of their progress.

I have worked with over 300 participants during my training courses and it is a privilege to see the enthusiasm teaching assistants show as we delve into maths pedagogy – I love to hear the positive stories of children’s engagement and progress through the intervention and am always delighted when staff feed back that strategies and materials have been shared in staff meetings and helped to shape whole school practice.

I am able to offer school visits which can be a really helpful tool for providing feedback and support to TAs and encouraging wider impact. I look forward to supporting you and your school with these brilliant programmes!
