We had the pleasure of the Riviera Education Trust supporting us with our Pupil Premium provision and it had a significant impact on our provision for the children. Stewart brought with him several members of his talented team, many of whom are regionally renowned for their specialisms, who provided advice and challenge to all areas of the curriculum. Having visited Oldway and seen their strategies for myself, it was great to be given practical, tangible advice which continues to make a difference to our outcomes. Riviera's team's openness and genuine interest in our setting and school has resulted in the partnership continuing even past the set time scale for the project. I'd fully recommend the Riviera Education Trust to support in whatever capacity you require.

As a school we find the support of the Teaching school invaluable. It gives core support for our Maths and English leads, not just keeping us up to date but enabling us to look forward and develop. We really appreciate the breadth of the curriculum they support - CPD for non core subjects has been incredibly hard to source in recent years and our subject leaders are able to at the very least have a network they can turn to and work with. We have also valued the support for leadership - the regular briefings are informative and thought provoking, and are again a rare opportunity to network with local senior leaders.

Since becoming a year leader in 2015, I have always been supported and encouraged to develop my leadership skills. I was given the opportunity to complete the NPQML which gave me invaluable knowledge and practical advice on being a leader. I am supported as a year leader through regular year leader meetings, coaching opportunities, and am encouraged to develop my own areas of interests. I am passionate about the teaching of phonics and was supported by the trust in becoming the school's phonics lead.
