I’ve had amazing feedback from my subject leaders about your training. It is so refreshing for me to hear that the money spent is having a real impact in school…leaders so far have come back extremely positive, reassured that their work so far is on the right path and re-energised to continue making improvements.

'Just a note to let you know how useful the training was … staff right across the board were able to take things away from it …. all were saying how your delivery and discussion made it very accessible. Thank you'

'Our school has received a range of relevant, carefully prepared training from Diane that has allowed us to make useful improvements as well as look, sound and feel knowledgeable and up-to-date with the high expectations of being an outstanding school'
MS. Herefordshire
'Our subject leaders attended subject leader training alongside me as head of primary. Diane shared a wealth of up-to-date knowledge from the recent research reviews alongside her knowledge as a lead inspector. It was powerful to attend together, both to celebrate what we are doing well in these subjects and to identify what needs to be developed further. The training gave staff confidence in managing their subject and they came away with very clear actions for developing their subject further, to reflect the latest guidance'
CL. Shropshire
'Relevant, informative and up to date. A well-prepared and delivered course. Plenty of opportunities for dialogue with questions answered. The whole session was well planned. The best I have ever attended and one I did not switch off from at all! Thank you! I now have new energy for my planning'
