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.'

'Very thorough, but realistic. I feel that some of the additional resources will be used routinely from now on...'

'[Backdrop] has provided me with valuable guidance in how to raise attainment of PP children in our school. [Their] advice has been incredibly important in shaping our PP policies and plans, giving us a solid base on which to build on.' (Pupil Premium Review)

'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.

'I have achieved ....clarity and perspective on the role, priorities and an understanding of how to be more strategic in the role.'
