“Played an important part in Ryecroft’s journey to outstanding“

I have worked with Claire for a number of years. She is inspiring, thoughtful and creative and puts outcomes for children at the heart of what she does. She thinks outside the box and offers creative solutions to a wide variety of problems; her great gift is being able to empower others to see solutions for themselves. She played an important part in Ryecroft’s journey to outstanding in 2014. She listened to us, challenged our thinking and understood that all the children at our school needed a curriculum special to them.
As leaders we need to be challenged, nourished and guided. Claire does all three of these exceptionally well! She believes that rigour and structure are the key to success yet at the same time understands that we must never stop remembering that we are here for children and that there should be no ceiling placed on them achieving their potential!

“Reshaped my thinking”

Claire came all the way to London to support Kilburn Grange School in developing our science curriculum. Claire’s common sense approach to planning is accessible and inspiring. She has reshaped my thinking about the science curriculum, as she challenges you to think about the WHY not just the HOW.  Claire has a very clear insight into developing a school’s curriculum and has a wealth of ideas to bring the science curriculum to life.  She works with the ethos of the school and personalises the curriculum for the needs of the school. Claire thinks outside the box and finds creative ways to make teaching and learning cross-curricular, practical and engaging. I wholeheartedly recommend Claire if your school is on a journey to developing your curriculum.
