“Dr Ken was fantastic! His show brought maths to the children in a way that they’d never seen before. From Year 1 to Year 6, he captivated his audience with his interesting, funny and thought-provoking acts. Communication beforehand was great and he was very accommodating to fit into our busy school schedule. Feedback from staff and pupils was very positive, with lots of our students keen that he would come back again in another year! A 5* experience and would recommend to anybody.”
