When you work with Gaynor you know two things, firstly the job will get done and secondly it will be done to a high standard of professionalism. My arts team are really enjoying the challenge of working with Gaynor as she leads them to improve. She has given them the confidence to succeed.
Jonathan Desausmarez, Executive Headteacher, The Romsey School, Hampshire
Gaynor’s impact evaluation for the Clore Leadership Programme, of three organisations participating in our national training initiative, will inform thinking about the development of governance training in the UK’s cultural sector. Her keen analytical skills have been vital in reviewing and considering a substantial amount of information.
Sue Hoyle, Director, The Clore Leadership Programme
Gaynor develops really innovative and practical work which teachers have found inspiring. Gaynor moves teachers thinking and practice on in a very interactive and realistic way.
Ian Massey, Intercultural Adviser, Hampshire Children's Services
I'd like to say a big thank you for the Inset on Friday. I came back on Monday and all staff were buzzing with it and raring to use ideas. It’s always great when staff can be inspired and share that inspiration with children!
Steve Jefferson, Headteacher, Castle Hill Infants School, Basingstoke
Gaynor is an outstanding arts educator. She has a real understanding of teachers' needs as well as a grasp of the creative possibilities that arise within the constraints of the school system. She brings a wealth of experience, a warm and supportive personality and true professionalism to everything she undertakes.
Dr. Cecily O'Neill, international arts educator, writer, director and associate artist, Unicorn Theatre
Gaynor’s workshops at conferences were always over subscribed because her reputation went before her - they were exciting and full of innovative but classroom friendly ideas - I’ve even seen confessed ‘drama shy’ teachers not only join-in the sessions but also leave inspired & prepared to ‘do’ drama with their pupils. Feedback from schools always highlighted how the use of drama motivated children, particularly boys, to write because after the drama they had something to say!
Jean Brown, Primary Consultant, West Berkshire
Gaynor, has a wealth of experience which she shares generously with colleagues and pupils alike. If you are lucky enough to work with her your practice will be the richer for it. She has helped me many times in my development, most recently as the External Examiner on the PGCE Drama programme at Middlesex University.
