“A very informative half day of training delivered by Emma. She catered the training for our school and its needs. The staff came away feeling more confident to embed the text centred approach to writing in our school. Having Emma’s pedagogical knowledge, helped us realise why we have selected this approach for our children. Staff were overwhelmingly positive.”  Jonjo Wilson – Acting Headteacher
