Testimonials
"Thank you very much for last week, all staff felt that it is the best CPD they have had; it was both informative and confidence boosting for them."
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your support and calming words during the English assignment time. Honestly, you and Rebecca were brilliant and made me feel that I could achieve the necessary pass!"
"The webex meetings have been extremely useful. They enhance our subject knowledge and give us lots of ideas to try with the children. The course leader (Jenny) is incredibly knowledgeable and ensures the sessions are well-paced. The sessions have had a direct impact on our teaching and the progress our children are making."
"Thank you so much Jenny. I have found your support very productive and reassuring! I am excited about the way forward and the changes we will now finally be able to implement, so thank you!"
"I am writing to thank you very much for the No Nonsense Spelling training you delivered to us this morning and for forwarding the presentation slides. The session was excellent and enjoyed by everyone. It has prompted some thoughtful discussions about spelling in our school and we are looking forward to using the programme from September."
