What do schools say about our training?

  • "Tre and Pet have produced a wonderful course that was insightful and gave all the research and evidence to justify what they were sharing. They also shared ideas, activities and resources that can be lifted and used directly in the classroom. Thank you very much for this! I have had a wonderful day!"

    Alice Jones, Emmbrook Junior School

  • "The high-quality, inspiring support and advice shared with us through Tre and Pet's wide-ranging training, website resources and subject leader network meetings were invaluable in being successfully 'ready' for a recent Ofsted inspection.
