Join us for a day of insights and professional development at Primary MathsFest25, taking place in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire in early 2025. See dates and locations below.

Let's talk maths! 

This year’s theme is ‘Let’s talk Maths’ - and we’ll be joined by keynote speaker Abby Cotton (pictured, left), Maths Hub Lead at Boolean Maths Hub. Abby will be sharing her passion and expertise on the topic of, ’Oracy as a tool for more equitable classrooms’. She’ll be exploring the importance of using mathematical language confidently, as a learner; and how an oracy-rich curriculum design and pedagogy can address the disadvantage gap - securing greater equity in education.
