Welcome to 2022

 A new year quickly follows on from the challenges of 2021.   These challenges are often unpredictable (like new variants) and responses by various governments (levels of lockdown and how much travel is permitted).  It sadly affects education in ways that are incredibly challenging to measure.  The goal is to make sure that we are kind to those around us and we must make every effort to work collectively to bring about positive change for all. Visit our brand new website on www.livingmaths.com and you will see how we have evolved to meet the new challenges and offer innovative solutions. We look forward to working with you.
