Client Testimonials

“I attended one of Helen’s online Ofsted / SEND courses last Thursday and it was absolutely excellent! I have recommended her to another colleague who has just started as a SENDCo.”

“I attended the ‘how to achieve outstanding behaviour’ course at the Hyatt in Manchester today (4/10/23). I wanted to feed back that I found it very useful and it will impact on the work I do in school as a follow on. It helped to organise my super busy mind. Helen was knowledgeable and approachable,  so thank you.”

“I wanted to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful online training you provided to our school last year. Your insights and expertise greatly benefited our team, and we continue to implement the valuable strategies and techniques you shared.”

“Your personal story was an inspirational one and the course itself a real rallying-cry for school leaders – I think the training should be statutory!”

“Superb as alway Helen, very comprehensive training and the deep dive toolkits are brilliant!”

“If you want to know exactly what a deep dive in Geography is like you need to complete this training. It covers every aspect of the geography deep dive and the documentation I completed from the toolkit was complimented by the inspector.”

“Thank you Helen for the amazing training and deep dive pack. I had no idea of the detail that is required during a reading and phonics deep dive. I feel completely prepared and during a recent mock deep dive, reading and my leadership were highlighted as outstanding. There is no way that would have happened without your training and pack which quite literally walked me through the deep dive step by step.”

“If I had not received the training and toolkit I would have floundered during the deep dive. Superb training and resource which made the whole process manageable and easy to understand. The inspectors were really impressed with my documentation, which was all from the toolkit.”

“My Head booked me onto the art training and purchased the toolkit, because art was the subject he was going to put forward for deep dive. The training is really fun and engaging, whilst being incredibly useful and giving a thorough and accurate representation of what the deep dive would look like. The toolkit backs up the training and with crystal clear instructions I was very well prepared for the deep dive.”

“Excellent training and toolkit thank you so much. Covered everything I needed for my deep dive. P.E came out strongly during our inspection much of it down to your guidance on how to excel during the inspection.”

“I would have been completely lost without this training and toolkit. I was so well prepared for the deep dive and it was exactly as Helen described and prepared me for. The inspector commented that they had never seen such an impressive D.T leader. I am still in shock!”

“Thank you, Helen, I thoroughly enjoyed the training and gained so much from it which I can implement in my setting immediately. Really useful Ofsted support and advice, but so much great EYFS practice and ideas too!”

“My school was inspected in April 2022 and Science was selected for a deep dive. The training and toolkit were invaluable; the deep dive was just as the training outlined. The toolkit contained very clear instructions and the tasked I needed to complete to be fully  prepared. I would NOT have got through without your training and toolkit and I was complimented on my knowledge and leadership.”

“I completed this training four weeks before our Ofsted inspection and I have to say it was spot on and included everything that was covered during our inspection. The toolkit Q’s and A’s were an absolute lifesaver and our Pupil Premium support and provision came out as a real strength thanks to your expert guidance and clear explanation of the inspection process.”

“Thank goodness I completed this training before we were inspected. I had no idea the depth in which they would inspect RES. This training and toolkit covered everything, and I do not know what would have happened without it. Thank you for saving us!”

“Thank you so much Helen; the lead Ofsted Inspector (HMI) said that my SEF was very well written and was the best he had ever seen. It is all down to you and your brilliant SEF resource pack.”

“The Ofsted questions and model answers are so helpful and take an enormous weight off my mind, knowing what they will be looking for, and how to answer Ofsted questions effectively.”

“We worked through your packs. The inspection toolkits and deep dive packs have been invaluable, they are a wonderful tool!”

“I will make sure we keep flying the flag about the quality of your training and the resources. I don’t know what we would have done without your wise words, wisdom and those amazing files. Thank you for all you do.”

“We initially bought the reading and phonics deep dive kit but were so impressed with the content that we bought the whole set of 20 toolkits. I can safely say it is the best investment we have made. The value for money is phenomenal and the resources are so easy to use and comprehensive. The cover absolutely everything you will need to be very well prepared for inspection. I am a lead inspector, and I could not replicate the content of these to the key members of staff. The time they have saved both me and staff is invaluable. They are exceptional and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!” 

“Truly amazing Helen, thank you so much! The course was so inspirational and packed full of simple and practical changes I can make to improve SEND provisions for the children. I have never come away from a course so inspired and enthused to get back to school and get on with the job. The inspection toolkit is just exceptional, my colleagues are all very jealous because it is quite simply a manual of the best practice in every aspect of the role. It quite literally is a treasure trove of outstanding easy to use resources and I know the SLT have been very impressed with my new found confidence and ability to present data effectively.”

“Very informative with fantastic simple strategies and ideas to move practice and leadership forward quickly. The EYFS Inspection Toolkit is superb.”

“I just wanted say, how much I thoroughly enjoyed your zoom course this morning. You made a scary subject lighthearted, entertaining, interesting and extremely useful. Lots to think about and also great to know that we are already doing so many things right.”

“I recently completed your training course titled ‘Outstanding MFL Subject Leadership’ (Remote/On Demand).

Normally I wouldn’t email after completing a course but I just wanted to make sure I had said how incredibly helpful the course was. I was writing copious notes and for me, as a teacher relatively new to a subject leader role, you made everything clear and concise enough that I now feel I have the tools necessary to undertake this responsibility with far more confidence than I previously had.

Although there was a great deal of information given and at times this was daunting, I felt that this was made to seem manageable and rather than make me more nervous for Ofsted, with time I think I can be prepared and ready, knowing the sorts of documents I should be able to make available.

I would also like to add that I have found it hard to find valuable training courses in the area of MFL so am even more pleased that I have been able to do yours and I would highly recommend it to other subject leaders.

Thank you very much and I look forward to hopefully completing more of your courses in the future.”

“I have just completed the online training EYFS Ofsted ready. I have found it very beneficial, full of lots of ideas and plans for next steps. Thank you for providing such a easy to understand set of training videos.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the subject leader training you are doing for my subject leaders – they are absolutely loving it. 

Thank you Helen – keep up the fab work x x.”

“I have attended a number of your courses and bought your entire collection.

The have been invaluable to us and were amazing during our recent inspection. We have gone from RI to good with outstanding features. Your early years training, deep dive training and 90 minute phone call session were particularly useful. I also use your SEF template.

I recommend you to everyone.

I really just wanted to say thank you.”
