REVIEWS
‘Absolutely brilliant and it has really helped get my head around the ‘spec’ wording and what it means. Lots of ideas to implement – I just wish I had been able to do it a year ago when I swapped from D&T!
I am going back to school with much more confidence of the delivery of the course and can’t wait for exiting pupil outcomes. Thank you!’
‘Really informative and thank you for taking the time to run the workshop. Your courses are really strong and probably the best PD I have had in the least ten years.’
‘I thought this was a really fantastic course. I took away loads of ideas to use and integrate into my teaching with KS3 and KS4. I felt that it covered a huge amount of ground and was really comprehensive. It was especially helpful to hear from the perspective of a seasoned professional.’
