Royal Institute primary maths masterclasses

We ran a Royal Institution maths masterclass for 27 Year 5 girls from five schools, including St Helens. About 12 sixth form girls were also trained by the RI to deliver four of the masterclasses and a further six girls helped at these sessions. The other two sessions were delivered by members of staff from the RI.
