- “My favourite thing about being a teacher is the relationships. When children trust you, you get so much back. I also love trying to get the best out of people, so the move into Senior Leadership has really suited me, as I get to build relationships with people of all ages.”
Scott Morrow

- “All children can achieve at maths and, if we teach for understanding rather than memory, we can provide them with essential numeracy skills for life.”
Antoinette Irwin
- Acting Depute of St. Bernadette’s Primary School, Falkirk.
- “Quite often pupils have a negative attitude towards maths and it is this, not their ability, that holds them back. I worked with a P5 pupil recently who always approached every maths task with an “I can’t do this” mentality. We changed her mantra to “I can’t do this yet” which enabled her to complete the question and achieve success.”
