Service closed until September

We have shut this service for the summer term, but will re-open in September with

Given lead time to get projects up and running in schools, we believe there is no possibility of the bank current learning service doing its job before the end of term.

Problem: the race between teaching/learning and forgetting

We at timely practice estimate that school closure from the end of March to early September, for low attaining learners, could well result in the loss of a complete academic year's learning  (see (info) box below)

titleEstimate of learning loss

Best estimate of learning loss of maths over the summer holiday is 6 weeks to 1.8 months of learning.  https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0907568218779130 

March 2020 - September 2020 is a little over 4 times the length of the summer holiday - so learning loss could be 5 to 7.5 months.

September 2019 - March 2020 was 7 months, so it is not unreasonable to think that all the learning of the academic year 2019-20 could be lost to forgetting, unless we find a way for learners to retain learners' maths learning.

This is what the plan for the bank current learning service plans to achieve.
