Testimonials
Reflecting on the course, it was very cleverly put together. And each assignment helped me reflect on an area of practice within my setting, identifying areas to develop and thank goodness some strengths too!
Going back to study at Masters' level was deeply challenging but I feel so flipping chuffed to have come through the other side! ( Liverpool Headteacher)
