I am an MPhil student at the Cambridge University Faculty of Education. I 
am interested in pupils’ attitudes towards mathematics enrichment, and in 
particular, attitudes towards NRICH. I wonder whether you could help me in 
my research project.

I am looking for two schools (primary or secondary) that make frequent use 
of NRICH material, either in class, or as extra-curricular activities, in 
which I can carry out a two-phase research project in May. It would be best 
if both of these phases could take place in the same schools, but I would 
be most happy to hear from any school that would be willing to take part in 
either phase.

The first phase involves informal paired interviews with a small number of 
pupils about their experience of NRICH. This could take place over one or 
two days. Naturally, I would ensure that my presence causes the minimum of 
disturbance, and so would be happy to discuss the timing and length of 
these interviews with interested schools.

The second phase involves a wider questionnaire survey of students about 
their experience of NRICH. I will ensure that enough questionnaires are 
duplicated and sent to each participating school. These could then be 
completed at the schools’ convenience during (the latter part of) May. To 
get the ideal sample size, I would like a return of 50 or more 
questionnaires from each school, but again, I would be happy to hear from 
any interested school.

If your school could help me with any of the above, or if you know of any 
schools that might, please let me know, either by e-mail ([log in to unmask]) 
or by letter at the address below. It would be most helpful if you could 
give me a contact name and telephone number (or address). I would be happy 
to discuss the details of the research with any interested school before 
proceeding with the research. Thank you very much.
