Headteacher, secondary school, South West London

 

We asked Sue to work with us on Behaviour Management. She observed classroom practice in two classrooms and then met individually with the two class teachers and the teaching assistants in those classes. Sue met with senior leaders at the end of her visit to summarise her findings. All the adults that she worked with over the course of the day found her feedback extremely useful. She was emphatic to staff and was able to answer any questions that they had about strategies that they were already using. She had many useful suggestions and her ideas were implemented quickly and are already having an impact. We would highly recommend her.

Led the team well. Good balance of challenge and support. Took time to get to know our school.

Headteacher, Primary School, South London

​

During my 29 year career in education, I would say I could count on 2 hands the people who have inspired and motivated me and whom I respect. Adam Lowing is one of those. He was the first mainstream headteacher to embrace The Reading Doctor intervention, when it was in its infancy - a maverick in his field. He recognised his struggling readers needed something different and this became part of his vision to turn his school around. I'm delighted that through his own direct experience and success he has now started his own business to serve as a leading light for other school leaders.

Deborah Salisbury, Founder, The Reading Doctor

​Being a new SENDCO I was feeling quite overwhelmed with the operational side of the job and I was finding it hard to be strategic. A day spent action planning and getting advice and guidance from Adam was very valuable. I was in control of the plans, but he helped me think strategically about how I was going to act on the plans and set up the systems I wanted in place, to work effectively. He was able to guide me and signpost me in the right direction because of his wealth of experience as a headteacher. My goals feel much more achievable and I have a clear plan in place.

Sue Byron has worked in my schools on a number of occasions to advise us on strategies to support children with SEMH needs. She works positively with all stakeholders and has high quality interpersonal and communication skills. She is approachable and friendly and has a wonderful way of putting people at ease to help them to see how to move forward. The training that she provides is of high quality and useful, and provides a mix of rationale and practical activities which is well received by all.
