This has given me a fantastically informative intro to Y2 SATs. I now know what skills the children need to learn and how to deliver these in a more engaging manner. Debs never stopped giving advice – thanks!
The course was an eye opener to phonics for the screening check. Debs was fab. I would recommend the course to EYFS and Y2 to help develop knowledge.
This training will enable me to provide pupils with writing opportunities to achieve Greater Depth. Incredibly helpful and practical. Super answers to questions – thank you!
