This page gives information about my training and speaking work. I speak at conferences across the UK, lead a variety of public training courses for teachers and school leaders and work in individual schools delivering INSET days. The topics below give a flavour of what I can offer you; in addition to these topics I can also provide training in Thinking Skills and Creativity for Learning. If you want to talk to me about booking a course, or working in your school or local authority, please get in touch here.

Managing provision for gifted, talented and more able students
This highly practical course gives you the opportunity to reflect on your current provision and gain the knowledge and skills to take things to the next level. I am the senior author of the UK's most comprehensive handbook on managing provision for gifted and talented students, published by Optimus Education, which has been purchased by almost half of all secondary schools in England. If you would like to organise an INSET event around this theme, or if you wish to attend the next public course on this subject, please get in touch.

Gifted and talented enrichment
This course, aimed at those new to enrichment, provides a wealth of ideas for how you can run high quality enrichment activities in your school. It shows you how enrichment can be used within and beyond the National Curriculum to take your learners to new and exciting places. In addition to my book on managing provision for gifted and talented students, I have written several articles for leading education publications on enrichment. If you would like to organise an INSET event around this theme, or if you wish to attend the next public course on this subject, please get in touch.

 Fundraising for school improvement
This course will help you to plan a successful fundraising strategy for your school. It will outline what schools do that are successful at fundraising and will explain the main sources of funding for schools like yours. I am the author of two books on fundraising for schools and have chaired several national conferences on this topic. If you would like to organise an INSET event around this theme, or if you wish to attend the next public course on this subject, please get in touch.

Promoting your school
