What school leaders say
“It’s been a really good project to do, as it forces us to have a lens through which lessons are learned. While the stopgaps in between and keeping momentum can be challenging, having the time to work on what was learnt in training sessions was really valuable.
Margaret is full of knowledge and can adapt - even last minute - to address needs from the team, championing our leaders and staying flexible about who is delivering training. As a result, we’ve seen an increase across all classes of teachers using adaptive teaching and seeing it practically implemented. For children with more complex needs, their progress is now thought of with every lesson plan - it is no longer an afterthought, but directly relevant to what they are learning about.”
Katie Kilgannon, Assistant Headteacher, St John the Baptist Primary School
"I was able to talk through our specific training needs with Lily, and she put together an Early Childhood Development Programme... I felt listened to and valued throughout the whole process."
Siobhain Canney, Assistant Headteacher, Ickburgh School
