“As Headteacher, I have had the pleasure of working with Susie since 2023, during which time she has supported a range of our pupils and families with great skill and professionalism.
Susie worked closely with two families over several months, as well as with groups of EAL pupils in our school. Her impact was evident almost immediately. The children settled into school quickly and happily, developing a strong sense of belonging and confidence in the classroom. Their wellbeing improved noticeably, and they became more willing to engage socially and academically with their peers.
Her work in developing the pupils’ English language skills was particularly impressive. Through targeted, thoughtful support, she enabled clear and measurable progress, helping pupils to access the curriculum more fully and participate with increasing independence.
In addition, Susie carried out assessments for all EAL children across the school. These were thorough, insightful, and extremely valuable in helping staff understand pupils’ needs and next steps. Her communication with teachers and school leaders was consistently clear and constructive, ensuring that strategies were well understood and effectively implemented.
Susie is highly professional, reliable, and deeply committed to the children and families she supports. She works with warmth and sensitivity, building strong relationships that make a lasting difference. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
