Congratulations to Maria Harrison, Associate Director at EY, who we are recognising as our Volunteer of the Month for June
Maria visited Wallace Fields Primary School in Surrey to present her My Maths Story assembly and support two Maths in the Real World class sessions.
Katie Sargeant, Maths Lead, said: "Maria was excellent. She was really engaging and was clearly able to convey her key messages to all the children, in the class sessions and the assembly. The children were asking insightful and mature questions, and this was as a result of Maria's approach to the session and being so positive with all things maths!"
Maria said: "I really enjoyed my afternoon and I was really impressed with the children, their questions and answers and I hope left them with an improved view of maths."
