Thank You

'[Backdrop] was understanding of the context of the schools and challenges we face. The process was solution focused, non judgmental and passionate about showing our strengths and looking for areas to improve. The whole day allowed me and colleagues to spend time focusing on attendance. I feel a lot more ready to discuss our data and strategy moving forward.'

"As with any "audit" type process there is anxiety and trepidation. Can I go on line as saying any concerns I had were diminished immediately by the warm, disarming nature of [Backdrop]. I found the whole experience enlightening and informative and certainly backed my mantra of "everyday is a school day". Many thanks"

'Content of the workshop was good and everyone was involved and made contributions. It was a relaxed environment and the facilitator put us at ease in order to be able to share openly."'

'Our day with {Backdrop] was very useful and has left us with a clear plan regarding our next steps. [Their] work has underpinned much of our recent self-evaluation but added an expert view on how to move things forward. Advice and strategies shared to date have been very useful and Jon was supportive and thought provoking throughout his visit. We very much look forward to the opportunity to work with Jon in the future.

'[Backdrop] worked with Khalsa Academy Trust on a strategic review for SEND processes and provision in our schools for a year long project and demonstrated his excellent knowledge of the subject, [their] ability to adapt strategies to a schools’ context and most importantly how he brings the wider staff along with his improvement agenda. [Backdrop] is highly regarded because of his integrity, hard work and relentless focus on the what’s best for children with barriers to their learning.'
