Our Primary Courses
I have attended several courses that you have run and they always leave me thinking more about my role as a teacher. You have helped me to build a set of principles and strategies that I can use to put these into practice. You have transformed my teaching. (Primary teacher, Aberdeen)
The influence of our work in science and mathematics is widely recognised. We also have expertise in English, humanities and cross-curricular issues. We are best known for helping schools to develop the use of innovative and engaging approaches to teaching, learning and assessment. Unless indicated, the course will be led by Stuart Naylor, Brenda Keogh, Jane Turner, Jo Horlock or Jo Moules. They have worked in and with schools for many years, and are actively involved in current initiatives and curriculum innovation, meaning that our courses will always be professionally relevant, engaging and inspirational. The following courses are available to any organisation or group, in the UK or beyond, concerned with the professional development of adults working with pupils age 5-12.
