His posts have always included leadership in mathematicsand he brings to the team strengths in planning, assessment, monitoring and co-ordination within Foundation and KeyStages 1 and 2. Danny is the general school adviser to over 20 schools, oversees the induction of NQTs in SouthLancashire as well as undertaking education management consultancies beyond the county and abroad.

Alison Hartley

Alison taught for 18 years in 3 secondary schools in Lancashire. She became a head of a mathematics department in1991, then took on the duel role of senior leader and head of mathematics from 1997. In 2002 she took on more seniormanagement responsibilities as an assistant headteacher.

Wendy Singleton

Wendy joined the Mathematics Advisory Team in June 1993 and from September 1996 was appointed a permanentmember of the team. She has 27 years teaching experience across the whole of the primary age range in schools inLancashire and North Yorkshire. Wendy provides school-based consultancy work across the primary age range andprovides INSET through the LPDS Course Programme.

Vicki Foy

Vicki joined the Mathematics Advisory Team in August 2000. She worked previously as a Mathematics Co-ordinatorin an East Lancashire school. Vicki works alongside Wendy in supporting teachers across the Primary age range.

Maureen Magee

Before joining the Mathematics Advisory Team in January 2001 Maureen was head of Mathematics at a high school inBlackpool for 10 years. This followed 20 years teaching experience in six schools in Birmingham. She has worked withtwo GCSE examination boards and has been a Key Stage 3 SATs assessor. Maureen provides school-based consultancywork across Key Stages 3 and 4, and provides INSET through the LPDS Course Programme.
