"The positive vibe around the school is amazing and today I am experiencing it myself as my Deputy is out and I have led the big writing with her class. I wish I taught all the time!"

Nik Smith, HT, St Peter's CEP School, Kent

"The Big Writing has had, and continues to have a significant impact upon all of the children. We thank you for your involvement because without it we would have struggled to have made the progress that we have."

Feedback from a recent course led by Lorraine:

"I just wanted to write to say thank you to Lorraine for delivering a fantastic and inspiring course today. I am a new Literacy Leader but have been teaching eight years. The problems with raising standards in writing has been a concern of mine from the beginning of my training but it is only tonight that I can really see how my teaching could have a real impact on the pupils that I teach. I really hope that everyone has the opportunity to be inspired by your courses and material and truly believe that I will be a better teacher having what our Assessment For Learning Leader would call the 'teacher's answer book'! Thank you again for relighting my literary spark and I hope my email passes at least at a Level 1!"
