Most primary schools do not appropriately prioritise the development of reading fluency (via scaffolded reading practice) and the development of mental arithmetic (via number fact automaticity allied to place value understanding) in their academic curriculum.

We’re often fooled by what looks like effective teaching - charisma, energy, confidence - but engagement isn’t learning. Great teaching requires both subject expertise and the ability to make complex ideas clear to novices.
