Testimonials
"Thank you once again for yesterday’s training session. It was just what the team needed: non-threatening, encouraging and full of practical suggestions."
"We have had some real success so far with the text-based planning and some lovely feedback from the children about it. It is having an impact!"
"Just a note of thanks for yesterday's training. It was incredibly helpful and very clear to follow. I appreciated every minute. It was engaging and interactive as well as relaxed and conversational. And who knew that you could do so many amazing collaborative things (break out groups and visualisers) on Zoom!"
Profile
I work with SLT, English subject leaders and staff in developing all aspects of primary English. Bespoke support could include: developing the reading and writing curriculum, progression and development of literacy skills; planning units of work with teachers; or specific subject leader support. I also offer a variety of training around aspects of literacy such as phonics and spelling; teaching grammar in context; reading for meaning; and developing writers.

"Completed a spelling and phonics course and found it really useful. I have recently taken on English lead and learned lots about spelling rules in a short space of time. Subject knowledge was excellent and the resources provided look great. I can't wait to try out ideas when school is back to normal."

"Thank you so much for your presentation last Thursday-it was just what I needed to hear…Your passion and belief are infectious. Thank you for inspiring."
"I cannot express enough thanks for your valuable training tonight. All our staff are now so inspired and motivated to get our children's spellings up to standard! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We were so impressed with the whole training that we are now going to purchase the grammar programme."
"I have watched all five of your taster modules "
" in conjunction with Pearson Education and recently completed your course through ‘FutureLearn’: ‘An Introduction to Teaching Vocabulary’. I found the course to be extremely relevant, informative and easy to follow as well as incorporating useful strategies, supported by credible references. I have been very impressed by the Babcock courses and am looking forward to the new ones appearing. I have recommended your courses to my colleagues and also alerted our SLT to the value of the content."
