“Teachers use initiatives, such as the ‘learning pit’, very effectively across the school to engage pupils in discussion and to build resilience and a determination to succeed. As a result, pupils demonstrate an exceptional attitude to learning.”

“Your input as a team has had a considerable impact on all of our staff and was certainly a contributing factor to the positive reports we received from the inspectors.”

The presentations were really engaging, challenging and positive. We were shown the value of personalised learning, questioning and feedback - all backed up with pertinent, applicable activities & resources. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will use it to develop my teaching.

The process has increased the enthusiasm of staff to look at their classroom practices. They are more open about asking for help, have become more reflective in their practice and have ‘demanded’ more.
