  • "One of the best days of professional learning I have attended. I was really inspired by your presentation, and the conversations they led to in the group, to prioritise improving teaching and learning in my classroom."

    Principal Teacher of Pupil Support and Pedagogy Conference delegate, March 2025

  • "Bruce's sessions with our Curriculum Principal Teachers and Senior Leadership Team have made a huge impact upon our thinking and planning for next session as well as reinvigorating the whole team with respect to discussing pedagogy. I am genuinely excited about where our learning and teaching journey goes from the point of Bruce's engagement with our team."

    Headteacher, North Lanarkshire, January 2025

  • “During Inset, I normally fluctuate between feeling patronised, feeling inadequate and feeling inspired. I left Bruce’s sessions feeling energised, inspired and motivated to improve my teaching and that of the department.”

    Teacher at Glenalmond College, Scotland, September 2024

  • “A fantastic presentation from beginning to end! One of the best, if not the best I have seen. Excellent delivery with so much packed into each part. Great use of thinking sessions through the white boards. Looking forward to using this during the year ahead.”

    Teacher at Rathfriland High School, Northern Ireland, September 2024

  • "I thought that the presentation by Bruce Robertson was the most engaging and useful session I have attended for a long time. This will have a bigger impact on my classroom practice than any other session I can recall. More from Bruce please."

    Teacher at Kirkintilloch High School, Scotland, August 2024
