Delegates lead the discussion at OPS 2015

We’ve just published a review of OPS 2015 from our President, Professor Ian Roberts. The article gives a great sense of what it was like to attend the event, as well as looking forward to OPS 2016.

You can read the review here.

The next Cambridge MML Faculty Open Day takes place on Friday 11 March 2016. Booking opens at the end of December 2015.

In the meantime, you and your Year 12 students might be interested in attending the University of Cambridge Open Days, which take place this year on Thursday 2 and Friday 3 July 2015. Booking for these dates opens later this month.

Cambridge MML Faculty Lecturer Dr Napoleon Katsos talks with colleagues Dr Henriëtte Hendriks and Dr Theodora Alexopoulou at OPS 2015.

“Thank you for organising such a brilliant conference. On a personal level I found it thoroughly stimulating, and I enjoyed speaking to, and sharing experiences and ideas with, new acquaintances from a variety of schools.

“On a more “global” level I left armed with inspiring information and ideas to share with both my colleagues and my students – starting with Year 7 boys on the first day of the new term!”

Thanks to all our speakers and delegates who made OPS 2015 such an enjoyable and stimulating event.

We were delighted to have such a diverse group of teachers join us from schools up and down the country:

• 104 delegates attended across the two-day meeting. 82 joined us for OPS 2014.
• 75 per cent of the secondary school teachers attending were new to OPS.
• 42 per cent of the secondary school teachers attending represented the state sector.
• 38 independent schools were represented at OPS 2015.
• Several longstanding members of the Society were present, including one delegate who has been coming to OPS annual meetings for the past 50 years.
• Our target regions remain the North East and South West of England, and Wales: spread the word and come along next year!
