Some testimonials...

"Kathy is very easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable." (SENCO)

"I really enjoyed the (coaching) session, thank you. Just having the time and space to think and consider and mull over different options is really valuable. Although teaching has been more demanding than ever over recent weeks, the session really helped me to reflect and remind myself of the aspects of the job I really enjoy and still feel passionate about." (Secondary Teacher)

"I liked being held to account/challenged in a non-judgemental way." (Intervention Teacher)

"Kathy is always very positive and shows awareness of the child’s needs. She gives very clear indications of how to develop a child and talks through and discusses issues thoroughly. If I have been unsure or uncertain about any issue concerning a child she has always given clear support and guidance to assist me." (SENCO)

"CLICK (training) helped staff really focus on the individual needs of our complex pupils. Identifying their strengths and using them to help the pupils progress." (Assistant Vice Principle, Specialist Provision)
