“We paused very regularly to discuss points and the material. It prompted a lot of discussion […] We have three points we are taking to use straight away in class which will benefit all children with slight adaptations to our delivery.”
Rebecca Manning, Headteacher, St. George's CE Academy, Shropshire

“A really thoughtful and practical guide to help staff responsible for more able provision across a department or school.”
“A good mix of a theoretical background and practical, hands-on tips, which allow you to think in the here and now about your own context and how these ideals – and then ideas – can be applied.”
“Gave me many new ideas to think about and explained MA policy as integral to a whole culture within the school and not a bolt-on.”
