"Alison related very well to the pupils. Our Groups was the lower ability and Alison
was able to communicate in such a manner that pupils responded very well. The
activities were appropriate to the topic."
Archbishop Beck High School
"It was fantastic to see the children's confidence with poetry grow. Week 1 -
several refused to share poems with their table group. Week 6 - everyone stood up
at the front to read work out to the whole class." Brookside Primary School, Huyton
