What you have said about your experience of the Learning
Improvement Service
“The feedback given to staff after being observed by Phil has really
motivated them to improve. He was able to give clear
guidance on how weaker aspects of teaching could be
turned into strengths. Phil clearly has a deep
understanding of best practice in the sector which he
applied to what he saw in our college. His written
report gave me a clear overview of where our teaching
and learning was and is the most useful document I have
ever read from a consultant as it gave us a clear agenda
of what was needed in order to move us forward”.
Recently appointed GFE College Principal
“Ofsted have lost a very knowledgeable inspector in Phil. He has
shown us he knows how to apply his knowledge to offer
improvement advice that is spot on in helping us improve
what we do. He was able to introduce us to two other
colleges and an apprenticeship provider who had good
practice in the areas where we struggled and that has
really benefitted us”.
Director of Teaching and Learning, Sixth Form College
“What Phil does not know about best practice in delivering
apprenticeships isn’t worth knowing. He has helped us
understand how to make the most of reviews so that both
our apprentices and their employers know what they have
to do in order to succeed. He keeps things simple and
relevant”.

“How very useful yesterday's training was, thank you. Very often
events we attend rely heavily on participant input (for
their ideas), with the trainer saying little, and the
result is insufficient new information. For me the day
was excellent, thank you”.
