Book bar model training
Book bar model training:twenty minutes, no pitch at the end.
The call exists so you can describe your school and hear whether a bar model training day would actually help, alongside the scheme you already use. Sometimes the answer is that the membership is enough, or that you should wait until September.
- You talk, mostly — we need to know the year groups and what is going wrong
- No slides, no deck, nothing to sit through
- If a day is the wrong thing, we say so on the call
A day is the wrong thing for a school that has not decided whether it is committing to the method. Those schools should spend £399, not £1,299.We would rather tell you that on a call than in an invoice.
Pick a time
When suits your week?
Term-time calls run before school, at lunch, or after four — the three windows that do not need cover.
Call requested.
You will get an email confirming a time before anybody rings — no unannounced calls during a lesson.
What the twenty minutes covers
Four questions,and then a straight answer.
The same four every time, because they are the ones that decide whether a day is worth your money.
- 1
Which year groups are struggling?
Not the whole school, usually. Knowing which two or three changes the shape of the day completely.
- 2
What have you already tried?
If you have had bar model CPD before and it did not stick, that is the most useful thing you can tell us.
- 3
Who would be in the room?
Teachers only, or TAs as well. It affects whether we split into strands and how the afternoon runs.

When is your INSET?
Dates go early, and the autumn ones go first. This is the question that decides whether you need to move now or in February.
If a call is not your thing
Plenty of peoplewould rather not ring anyone.
Entirely reasonable. Every question a call answers is answered somewhere on the site too.
