As education once again hurtles toward the point on the 30-year cycle of fads and fashions that will see it focused on a utilitarian purpose, it seems a timely moment to post this old blog… BLOG: What is an education for? www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...

All MATs and schools have to continually respond to changing legislation. Not all have the capacity to do the huge amount of work required. At ATT, we believe in sharing everything we have in case others can benefit. Feel free to copy and adapt if useful.
