Some feedback from schools and teachers

Thank you for delivering a fantastic series of very thought-provoking and genuinely stimulating sessions. Feedback has been universally positive and it is undoubtedly the best teaching-focused INSET we have had here. The meetings afterwards produced a slew of excellent ideas inspired by what you said, and you have engaged staff in a manner that is really exciting for future teaching and the learning prospects for our students.

Sean Dunne, Deputy Head (Academic) Wycliffe College

Thank you for such a great CPD event at our school. The footprint you left behind in the staffroom talk is already changing practice.

Chris Sammons, Headteacher, St Katherine’s School, North Somerset

It was a real ‘coup’ for us to have you and the staff were unanimous in their praise of you. It’s the best feedback I’ve ever had (both anecdotally and on formal feedback forms); staff described it as the best morning’s CPD they had ever had.

Gillian Fergusson, Deputy Rector, Hutcheson’s Grammar School, Glasgow

Very informative and useful. Lots of easy to use strategies – thoroughly beneficial.

Samantha Morris, The Priory, Shropshire

Great practical strategies wrapped up with relevant and rich examples. Liked the realistic approach and lack of emphasis on Ofsted.

Clare Thorpe, Langley Secondary School

Very valuable, helpful tips but also useful theory. Engaging and dynamic.

Jane Thompson, Abbey College, Manchester

Reignited my passion for teaching!

Anna Bartlett, St Joseph’s RC High School, Newport

Inspirational!

Dee Dee Bookless, John Cabot Academy, Bristol
