Maths champions is a programme developed by NDNA which aims to improve the maths skills of children in early years settings by training ‘maths champions’ within nurseries.
National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) is inviting applications from early years' providers to take part in a research trial to evaluate the maths champions programme. The maths champion should be a senior member who is responsible for the quality of maths provision.
Please see information sheet below for further details.
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is funding a two year randomised controlled trial of the Whole School SEND Review (WSS Review) process. Developed by the Whole School SEND consortium at Nasen, they are seeking to recruit 160 secondary schools to take part in this exciting study.
The WSS review process will enable school leaders to improve special educational needs and disability (SEND) provision at their setting.
Please see information sheet below for further details.
