‘Literally overnight, there was a dramatic shift in the quality of teaching and learning in English across the whole school. Philip’s carefully thought through five phased approach enabled each English skill to be taught well, with a wealth of teaching strategies and activities modelled to them, our classrooms changed from being hosts of passive learning to the feel of a great buzz and excitement.’
