Hirstwood Training

‘Our staff have really enjoyed the online free training packages’ - Jo Cliffe, Headteacher Wren Spinney School.

'The training is simple, easy to follow, relevant and interesting. It really made me think how I can adapt my sessions to better suit the needs of my learners.' Julie Scholtz, Wren Spinney School 

‘Great resource - not too much reading to do in one chunk, which I know will suit some of our staff much more.  And the addition of the videos and photos works really well to keep you engaged.  I also really like how you create a log-in and then the bar to the left keeps track of what you’ve completed so I could pick up where I left off in manageable chunks.’ Lara Parr, Head of School, Newbridge School

An introduction to multi sensory learning.

‘Have just gone through the introductory module. Excellent! Wonderful pitch…very accessible for TA’s too.  Really liked the video clips with the voiceover (what rich tones you have Richard.)  The clarity of presentation, the summing up, the reflection - short, sharp, punchy. Well done guys!’

Barry Carpenter, OBE CBE PhD Professor of Mental Health in Education, Oxford Brookes University.

‘An excellent course, presented in a lively, engaging manner with a great 'voice over'. Well-thought out and planned with excellent images and video-clips to illustrate key points. Guidance elsewhere for further information was offered and the 'Discussion' option would, I am sure, prove very handy for some.’  Jim Garretts, Pendle Community High School.

‘A great insight to Multi sensory learning and beneficial for those who have not worked with PMLD children and a great as a refresher course for those who have.’  Lisa Beasley
