A pleasure to be involved in this important report out today 📣 on the importance of prioritising the early years and supporting preschool education. Lovely to see our maths & EF intervention “the ONE” featured as an example of innovative practice.

Wonderful to host @Dr_Tre_Crew today who gave a brilliant seminar on experiences of being working class in higher education. Themes of identity, belonging & the role of precarity. The quote “class runs through me like a stick of rock” will stay with me. Thanks, Teresa!.
