There is huge pressure on schools today to get the best possible results in English and mathematics. The best way to obtain these results is to engage, motivate and enthuse pupils so that they want to learn. And the best way to do this is to provide a vibrant, creative, memorable curriculum which captures their imagination and makes their learning interesting and fun. This is precisely what Primary Matters helps schools to provide. When taught in the way advocated by Nicola Powell and her team, not only do pupils produce stunning work, but they also gain so much in terms of their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

Our staff were inspired by the content of the training days and eager to transform learning in our school. We are half-way through our first term of our new approach to delivering a vibrant and connected curriculum and the positive impact on learning is already tangible. Learning is more engaging, less predictable and the children love it! Primary Matters has helped us to liberate the creative potential in all our staff and pupils.

Nicola Powell is one of the most inspirational people I have met in my teaching career. The support that PrimaryMatters can provide in creating and delivering an inspirational creative curriculum is first rate. After less than 2 years from implementing our new creative curriculum my school was graded outstanding by OFSTED with the curriculum also being graded as outstanding.

I have seen at first hand the impact of PrimaryMatters training. Teachers and other staff leave the training invigorated. They have seen the possibility of making learning irresistible, received support in planning stages and developed practical resources. They leave with professional confidence.
If you want better results, improved attitudes, and brighter children, have a look at PrimaryMatters. The staff will enjoy it too!

An absolutely fantastic inset which inspired and energized my staff. Fantastic resources, ideas and work shared to demonstrate how total immersion is beneficial to children’s learning. Nicky and Sarah were totally passionate about the training which they gave and every school should book them today.

Thank you so much for such a motivating and inspiring inset over the last two days.
Just wanted to let you know that we were so enthused that Lisa and I planned our non fiction lessons on “Amazing Adaptations” in the rainforest as soon as we left the inset, using the non fiction ideas you modelled.
Looking forward very much to working with you again.

Nicky Powell and her team have had a tremendous impact over the last term working on our new curriculum approach and Ice Worlds topic. The school has been transformed in terms of immersive learning environment which means the children step in to a snowy artic world each day to begin their learning. Staff have been supported in a variety of ways including inspiring INSET to outline the approach, followed by support on medium term planning days where our teachers were introduced to a range of high quality English texts and then guided and challenged to ‘dream big’ to design the topic journeys. Nicky and the other consultants have ‘hand held’ all the way and helped us to be brave and radically transform the way we teach our whole curriculum. The impact on our children is plain to see. They are fully engaged in their learning, they buzz with excitement during task time and they can talk about their learning in a way they never could before. Most significantly their independence has increased and we are seeing high quality outcomes in both our foundation subjects and in English writing.
