Clare is a powerful and engaging presenter who commands instant credibility thanks to her wealth of educational experience in a range of settings. This was demonstrated when she delivered an inspiring keynote presentation to all staff at Sir Bernard Lovell Academy on the importance of a relational approach to supporting disadvantaged young people to achieve their ambitions. She skilfully challenged misconceptions and moved colleagues to think beyond their comfort zone through her blended delivery of teacher training. I whole-heartedly recommend Claire as a presenter, trainer, coach and educational consultant.
Dr Robin Bassford, Headteacher, Sir Bernard Lovell Academy
I can't thank you enough for your work leading up to and your input today,
Right from our conversation last week I have felt you get where we are at as a team and I'm grateful for all of your advice. Even the discussion last week helped me to shape and set my activities up better than I would have done.
I hope that you continue to do the brilliant work you are doing.
It continued to be a busy day however all of the staff I have spoken to today have been buzzing with ideas and thoughts from your presentation.
Assistant Headteacher,
Inclusion and PP lead
As a leader, the coaching, feedback and listening ear supported me to share professional development confidently with colleagues. Strong pedagogical discussions have offered support and challenge to leading teaching and learning. You have shared links to research and sharing of resources has also helped across a range of areas on our school improvement journey. There is a strong strategy in the implementation and teachers have built confidence to be empowered to use walkthrus in coaching pairs more quickly than initially planned due to our conversations about leading to sustainability and empowering more leaders.
Clare's authentic leadership has supported us in beginning to transform our professional development culture. The team have embraced coaching because of Clare's open, honest and skilled approach to developing pedagogy. Our collaboration is key to school improvement here.

Honestly, I've never know a head 'get it' as much as you do, or get a smuch done. I still refer to things you did re: SEND when I deliver training. SENCo/ Consultant
