In March this year, a set off on a solo walk across the entire length of Britain, from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
It is the most extraordinary and life changing experience I’ve ever had.
I published a daily video and blog documenting the journey.

How to fix the primary maths curriculum
What should Labour do with primary maths? Prioritise fluency and pleasure, say @peterfoulds77.bsky.social and David Thomas - and here is a blueprint to do it.

I’m interested in what pedagogical approaches are being recommended/mandated in your state, system, sector or school.
Can you point me at web links?
