UK Teacher of the Year Visits SCD
We were delighted to welcome Colin Hegarty, Global Teacher Top 10 finalist and UK Teacher of the Year, to SCD today to work with Year 7 maths students, teachers and parents.
St Clement Danes is one of only 20 schools across the UK working with Colin to use his award-winning maths home-learning online platform for all our Year 7 students’ mathematics homework. Colin built the platform as he believes that top quality maths education should be available at home as well as in school; his system provides that little extra support at home that students often need to gain confidence in maths and, ultimately, to excel.
Today, Colin spoke to the whole of Year 7 and then hosted a workshop with the Maths Faculty, before talking to all Year 7 parents in an evening event in the Barbirolli Hall. We are delighted that he was able to come in to work with us and look forward to seeing the results as the programme is rolled out across Year 7.
