Testimonials

Gill was just what we needed in two terms we have radically changed the way we teach across the school. The results have been amazing and the impact on our children wonderful. Apathy to learning has gone and the children are engaged, articulate and independent. The team feel has never been stronger!

A unique course with a freshness and involved process. Nice to have no ICT/video input. The various structures with the participants actively modelling them was great. The link to various ways of learning was very relevant and current. Well paced and maintained interest.
