Kate has made a remarkable positive impact working with Blaengarw staff to enhance teaching and learning through her various coaching methods. Her expertise, dedication, and ability to inspire have empowered our staff with practical strategies that foster both professional growth, pupil independence and success. Kate’s approach is supportive, insightful, and transformative, she has helped us to refine our teaching practices in meaningful ways. Her personable approach put a number of staff at ease, along with her desire to support every member of staff to reach their professional potential. I would highly recommend Kate to any school who are looking to elevate their teaching and learning culture and to rediscover their love of teaching.
Curriculum Re-Design
Kate Clarke
Deputy Headteacher
Tondu Primary School, Bridgend
Working with Kate on our curriculum re-design has been one of the most transformative experiences for our school. What began as a daunting and overwhelming task quickly turned into an inspiring journey, thanks to her steady guidance, deep expertise, and unwavering encouragement. From the very beginning, Kate created a safe, supportive space where no question was ever too small or “stupid.” Her thoughtful approach made us feel empowered and motivated every step of the way. Kate didn’t just consult, she partnered with us, celebrated our progress, and constantly reminded us of the value of what we were building.
The result? A curriculum that is dynamic, engaging, and truly tailored to the needs of our learners. It reflects not just the vision we had, but one that Kate helped us elevate beyond what we thought possible.
As Kate embarks on her new venture, we feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her and are excited for all the others who will benefit from her brilliance, passion, and heart. She has made a lasting impact on our work and on us. Thank you Kate, for everything you have done. We are so very grateful and wish you the very best of luck with your new venture. We can't wait to see you experience the success you truly deserve.
Curriculum Re-design & Developing Effective Modelling
Liz Prescott
Headteacher
Pentrebane Primary School, Cardiff
Working with Kate has been an absolute pleasure. She supported our school with curriculum development and introduced more effective teaching techniques, particularly around modelling, that have had a real impact in the classroom. Our staff have loved working with her, not just because she's incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but because she’s genuinely lovely to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any school looking to develop their teaching and learning.
Curriculum Re-Design
Clare Harris
Headteacher
Nantymoel Primary School, Bridgend
Working with Kate has honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made as a school. She didn’t come in with a one-size-fits-all approach, she really listened to who we are and what we needed, and helped us shape a curriculum that actually makes sense for our children.
​
The difference has been huge. Staff feel re-energised, pupils are more engaged, and the standard of work has noticeably improved. What I really appreciated was how practical and grounded Kate's approach was, it wasn’t just about the theory of CfW or high-level information, it was about what they meant and making them work day to day.
​
Our team came away feeling excited about teaching again. The curriculum now reflects our values and the needs of our learners, and we feel proud of what we’ve built with Kate’s support.
