Testimonials

Fabulous day with enthusiastic and informed presentations with relevant information throughout. When is the next one? Realised the importance of geography. Great presenters – inspiring!

Progression analysis very helpful. An excellent day all round. Thanks

I am not the Geography co-ordinator. However, I really enjoyed the day and loved how I could relate it to my Early Years base.

Stunning. This course has really given me confidence as a subject co-ordinator.

This course has given me lots of ideas for making geography more exciting, relevant and engaging for the children at my school.

As someone new to the geography co-ordinator role this day has given me a good starting point to my work in my school.

I now have a very clear idea of what outstanding geography looks like.

An inspirational course – especially for a non-geographer in the process of converting to the faith!

A fantastically positive day. I have so much to take back to school. Thank you.

So lovely to be revitalised

Brilliant. An excellent session. A most informative and inspirational course.

It was great to have the space to think. Thank you.

Some really great ideas shared that can be adapted easily. Great banter!

It was really good to see the theory put into practice. I feel full of ideas to take back to school and begin inspiring the children to explore their world.

The most useful course I’ve ever been on.

A great day with so many ideas for teaching outstanding geography in such a fun way! Great to have the framework explained and good practice explored.

One of the most helpful courses I’ve ever been on.
