“I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much we all enjoyed your phonics training session yesterday. I have to say we were a little bit worried about a whole day’s training on Zoom however the day flew by and we all could have spent much longer talking and listening to you! The content, opportunities for interaction and practical strategies were great, it covered phonics and so much more. It was really clear that you had listened to our specific needs ahead of the training to personalise the delivery. All of our staff have come away buzzing and have been looking on your website for their next training course with you. We’ve already got the parent workshop details ready to be shared next week and are looking into the Poem A Day Project!” Susan Quince, Deputy Head at Pilgrims Pre Preparatory School
“Thank you so much for the training yesterday. There is such a buzz around all the schools and soo much excitement. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I cannot wait to have another training session. This was soo insightful.” Emmah Munyanyi, Director, Wise Owl Group of Schools, Zimbabwe
