David led two brilliant three hour sessions for us at the Beckfoot Trust. He tailored his training to large groups of teachers from across our four primary schools. Teachers left the sessions positive and enthusiastic about how they could use these approaches in their teaching and their curriculum planning.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for that training, it was brilliant. Everybody said how much they enjoyed it. We will definitely be using lots of those strategies in future lessons!

David spent the day at our school with a focus on Drama across the Curriculum within the EYFS and Key Stage 1. My staff left with an abundance of activities to draw upon and had a renewed energy to take back into their classroom!
