Avnee reported: "We had an amazing time connecting with friends old and new at the Labour Party Conference, hearing views on possible policy directions for UK education. I was honoured to open a roundtable, co-hosted with the Education Policy Institute, that brought together an influential group to think about what the future of early maths teaching looks like. We discussed a number of issues including the importance of number fluency in laying the foundations for future attainment, the role of low stakes and high stake assessment and how to support the transition from the Early Years into Key Stage 1. Thank you to everyone who attended and brought us forward in this interesting and important conversation." We're looking forward to continuing these conversations with key partners over the coming months. #Education #Maths #PrimaryMathsCurriculum #LabourPartyConference2024
