Recommendations For reasons of confidentiality, I do not list the names of schools that I have worked with on my website.  I am of course delighted to provide, on request, names and contact details of Heads who have used my consultancy services. Testimonials ‘Perceptive analysis and identification of school’s potential strengths and weaknesses….  Unerringly accurate judgement based on careful evaluation of evidence.’  (R.I.) 'Outstanding Teachers Do This' course: 'Creative, enthusiastic and inspiring' 'Very interesting, very different, very professional, full of hands-on practical ideas' 'Two excellent speakers, whose different styles complemented each other very well, and drew us in.  The day went very quickly!'  ‘Thank you, Richard, for your words of wisdom….  It is always useful to have an independent view, and your guidance, information and reassurance certainly went down very well with our staff.’  (Head) ‘First class; a good team player.  Pupils and staff shared confidences through his easy style.’  (R.I.) 'I can't thank you enough for your valuable help in preparing us all for the inspection.  The days you spent with us enabled us to fine-tune our preparations and gave us all a sense of confidence and a real sense of joint purpose.' (Head)  ‘Your session on schemes of work was just as I hoped - totally practical.’  (Head) ‘Our first impressions on meeting Richard were that he spoke eloquently, and communicated his visions for the school clearly and with enthusiasm.  He answered difficult questions in an intelligent and articulate manner, and with diplomacy.’ (Parents)  ‘Thoughtful and conscientious, he had some tricky messages to deliver, which he did most considerately, yet without leaving doubt in the recipient’s mind.’  (R.I.)
