Folk on Foot day! John Spiers and I had a lovely few hours exploring the Thames path in Wallingford for a new episode for 'Folk on Foot' with Matthew Bannister + to be aired soon!

Great discussion of maths education at the Maths Summit, including the growing teacher supply challenge as a barrier to progress, with Catherine McKinnell citing NFER research that at least some maths teaching is done by non-specialist teachers in 45 per cent of schools

Really looking forward to this, on May 11th with my trio + lots and lots of really lovely things happening - whitchurchfolk.com
