Tennyson High School

"I am Head of English at Tennyson High School, a secondary modern school in Maldethorpe, Lincolnshire.

This year my department was the most improved in the country at KS3, with a third of our pupils gaining level 5+ more than last year. This year we are predicting  75% Level 5+.

Your English course has been more than instrumental in that success: we have improved KS3 and KS4 imaginative writing skills by at least two grades/levels; many of the resources supplied are used as posters to teach specifics; speed reading has become a competitive sport!

I can honestly say that, renewing my acquaintance with your course has reminded me how inspirational and innovative your ideas are - I should be using more of them in school to improve even more!

 Thank you"
