05 Dec - Season's greetings

Dear All,

As we reach the end of 2024 and take time to reflect upon the year, we recognise that it has been a very busy one for many of us, and a year of changes.

We have bid some of the team a very happy retirement during the year, but have also welcomed many new trainees to deliver the Catch Up® interventions and been pleased to have past trainees return to delivery as well. As schools continue to work tirelessly on closing the attainment gap, in a challenging time, we know that the Catch Up® interventions can support progress, and with your help the word is spreading.

19 Nov - Lynne's logic - Multiplication

Here is another blog from our much missed Lynne Startin. This blog was last issued in 2017, so we felt a re-issue was much over-due. We hope you find it helpful.

Well, multiplication is the name of the game today, (cue a song for any oldies reading this!).

I remember attending a workshop led by a well-respected mathematician, who began by telling us multiplication does not exist in nature. Shock, horror! But I later understood what he meant. Do you agree?
