"Ross was absolutely amazing – engaging, knowledgeable and approachable! Staff benefitted enormously from rich discussions about the science of learning, facilitated by Ross and they deconstructed how learning happens. Ross’ training was underpinned by sound academic research. It was an interactive online session which was relevant to the three key stages at Dollis. I would highly recommend him to other Headteachers."
