Testimonials
“We have been lucky enough to have Emma support us with the introduction of TfW into our school. She was very responsive to the needs of our school and tailored things perfectly to meet the needs of our pupils and staff. Two years on we have seen such huge improvements in the quality of our children’s writing and staff are confident and enthused when delivering lessons.”

“Emma has been central to efforts to transform the teaching and learning of writing at Lark Hill Primary School. She has given us a framework and a huge bank of resources but, crucially, helped us to navigate all potential difficulties with implementation accounting for the particular challenges of our cohort and context. She has empowered all staff to have confidence in delivering effective, impactful teaching of writing that addresses just what our children need in order to succeed and feel successful as writers.”

“Dear Emma…we were inspected [recently] and are really happy with the outcome: I think some of it is down to the work we did with you. We didn’t have much time with you, but it made a huge difference. [Additionally,] some of the [MTSA English] network meetings have helped me to shape things here, so I wanted to thank you for the part you’ve played behind the scenes.
I really enjoyed working with you on a bespoke basis and have always found your networks a useful space to hear ideas and reflect on what’s going on here.”
