SOME NICE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT BIGFOOT

The Bigfoot course covered aspects that the boys needed, but we couldn’t have provided during normal school hours. The boys have benefitted from the intervention. A very positive experience and Emma was excellent. Thank you

Sarah Lasker, St James School

An enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very able facilitator – the children loved him! Inspiring and challenging children to become part of a play and engage with both the text and their audience!

C Harrison, St Peter’s Primary

Hi Kevin, I was observed by my head teacher today and the upshot was a lesson graded as ‘outstanding’…so a big thank you!

Teacher from Plaistow and Kirdford Primary school, West Sussex

I feel that Mantle of the Expert has been even more powerful than Talk for Writing in my school. The children are more immersed in the work and the quality of written responses in role leading on from the drama has been fantastic.

Charlie Lyndsey, Sandown Primary School, Hastings.

I cannot believe the quality of talk elicited from the children. This is such an inspiring and engaging way of teaching.

Dr Julia Sutherland, University of Sussex.
