Primary maths CPD, resources, and shows that bring mathematics to life
Since 2008 I’ve helped schools teach maths with confidence and joy — through maths CPD and INSET days, practical teaching resources and maths magic shows that pupils remember.
Face-to-face training is most effective, but most sessions can be delivered online at your request.

What teachers say
“All children were extremely engaged in the entire hour (which isn’t easy with 170 Year 6 pupils).”
Patrick Hayes, Bute House Preparatory School
“I have had lots of positive feedback from staff already- here is just one of them: “Thoroughly enjoyed our PD from Andrew Jeffrey, he was excellent. Lots of great discussion and teaching tips to take away and implement.”
Suzie Prince, Acklam Whin Primary School
“Seeing the realisation, awe and excitement on their faces as the numbers grow and grow and grow, is powerful – what learning is all about.”
