Organic growth, Precise resourcing, and more. We’re so lucky this week to be joined by both Rosie Ross and Neil Le Feuvre from St Bridget’s school in the Wirral, UK. Our guests have been on an incredible journey with their maths, for over a decade now. How important is sticking at it, even when things may be wobbly? Are elements of this way of teaching maths used in other subject areas? Plus, Rosie shares an important realisation, ‘we don't just have to be able to do the maths, we have to understand the journey of the maths.’

Participation importance, Early trains, and more. Robin and Adam, who are Andy-less this week, discuss takeaways from the recent Community Event. What sessions stood out and why? Is networking just a buzzword, or did people actually get the chance to make proper connections? Plus Adam highlights the importance of being challenged on our regular classroom practice.

Slow plodders, February lightbulbs, and more. Joining us once again, all the way from the ‘dot in the Atlantic’ is Crenstant Williams, to chat about those who may struggle at times in maths. What tools have been impactful for these learners? Does practicing a bit of lower-year work help build a foundation? Plus, hear about the parents that want to learn like this as well!

Micro cultures, Honest pupils, and more. Two thirds of our team are here, Adam and Robin discuss the value of open days and share observations they have from recent school visits. What do both visitors and hosts get out of the experience? Plus, Adam shares the importance of senior leadership teams spreading an ethos of constant learning.

Critical thinking opportunities, Reasoning struggles, and more. This week, Robin and Adam discuss the integration of AI in education, focusing on its limitations, particularly in reasoning and mathematics. How can we embrace AI in the classroom? Do educators need to be more prepared as AI evolves? Plus, Adam discusses how educators can leverage AI's mistakes as teaching moments…

Jargon vocab, Terry Tao, and more. The crew this week discuss whether adding more content can lead to less understanding. Does excessive vocabulary and memorisation practice effect students' understanding of key concepts? Is it just wasted time? Plus, what impact does getting the vocab tests correct or wrong actually do to students?

Warts and all, Opinionated kids, and more. In this episode of the School of School podcast, hosts Andy, Robin, and Adam discuss their recent school visits and the insights gained from observing students and teachers. What’s it like being a fly on the wall? Does engaging with students who struggle provide valuable insights? Plus, talk of how the environment of a classroom can significantly impact learning.

Children teachers, SEN advice, and more. Craig Robinson is back again, this time joined by Gill MacDonald to share their insights from teaching using Maths — No Problem! Are they now better equipped to help struggling learners? How can teachers teaching less be a good thing? Plus, Gill was ‘the most reluctant teacher’ when it came to changing their maths programme, find out how things have changed since then.
