Teacher feedback following Cheltenham Science Festival 2019

STUDENT STORY
John was at risk of exclusion, but family support for Discover Maths helped him to succeed.
John was very withdrawn at the students’ meeting and decided not to take part in the programme. His mother was keen that he should take the opportunity and, following encouragement from the school, he decided to have a go.
Although he had some difficulties conforming to the structure of the programme, he had 100% attendance and was clearly encouraged from home. His family noticed that he’d grown in confidence, had a better understanding of his future choices, and had developed an increased interest in maths. His own feedback shows he has become more confident in maths and is enjoying STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) subjects far more.
At the end of year celebration he was clearly very proud to receive his certificate in front of his family. It’s almost certain that the strong family support he received contributed to his success on the programme.
