Testimonials
"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."

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!"
