What Teachers Say

Thank you again for the training you delivered to us this week - we both found it extremely useful. and we were buzzing with ideas after we left the session. It was exactly what we were looking for. We are both looking forward to the next session.

I think the training was very carefully planned and pitched well to the participants. I can’t think of any ways to improve.

Craig is clearly knowledgeable in this area [online safety] and keeps up-to-date with resources to help with changes over time and I’m thankful for all of the resources and information he passed on to us which I will share with school staff.

Thanks so much for the fantastic session yesterday; staff have been singing your praises all day. I think we all want you to come and work at our school!
