Alongside our work in mainstream education, we have been working with Special Schools since 2008, tailoring workshops to meet the huge range of needs catered for by the sector.

We recognise that your schools are incredibly diverse, working with children and young people with a huge range of needs - and that each school is special in its own right, delivering high quality learning experiences designed to meet the individual needs of each and every pupil. And, with the experience that we've gathered over the last ten years, we're able to tailor a range of tried and tested creative maths programmes to complement and supplement the work you do. And, particularly in secondary settings, we make explicit links between what we do and the life skills the students will be wanting to acquire.

Our approach is to work with you to:

  • Identify the most appropriate workshop (or workshops) for the pupils we'll be working with.
  • Tailor the content and delivery to meet the needs of those pupils (including those with SEMH needs).
  • Ensure that the workshop (or workshops) are appropriately challenging.

"We had a fantastic experience of working with you. Students were extremely engaged in the workshop and contributed well to discuss and solve problems. Students were also developing and using various mathematical skills without even realising that they were doing it! A well planned workshop that ran seamlessly." Severndale Specialist Academy

"Thank you for today...the teachers mentioned how engaged the pupils were (a hard thing to achieve!) and that it was pitched at a really good level for the groups." Billing Brook Special School
