TESTIMONIALS

Please read some of the testimonials for work carried out by our members.

Brendan Hollyer

I’ve been working with Brendan Hollyer through a request I sent to you in the summer.
We are a Welsh independent school, so I’m aware that’s not your usual genre. I just want to thank you for the service you offer and the tremendous help it provides to small, almost isolated, EOTAS providers like ourselves.
Brendan has been courteous, professional, reliable and a great source of advice.

Paul Howieson, CEO, Coastal Learning Partnership

"It was our pleasure to experience a training session from Neil Yates at IGovS on the subject of ‘Challenging the Headteacher effectively’.   The session was extremely informative and grounded in lots of practical advice.  Neil’s rich experience and passion was self-evident from the training session.  It was also an extremely engaging workshop which readily captured the attention of a large audience; our governors greatly valued it.  We would thoroughly recommend Neil and IGovS and we look forward to working with them again in the near future. "

Lisa - Chair of Governors

Ofsted Monitoring visit

"Governance is more robust and rigorous than previously as a result of governors’ work with a consultant. The number of governors has been reduced, roles and responsibilities reviewed and clarified, and procedures agreed to ensure governors challenge from a well-informed position"

Chair of Governors

"l met with the Headteacher last week to discuss the report and the way forward in terms of responding to the recommendations you have made and intend to establish a working party drive this. We would welcome your advice and support for such a working party and potential help with facilitating an away planning event and we would like to discuss this further with you."
