Em Ward, Head Teacher, Ravensthorpe Primary School, Peterborough

Truly Great Primary Teachers explores the multifaceted nature of effective teaching and considers how it can be measured. The book highlights how truly great teachers are committed to reflective practice and continuous learning, creating environments where pupils thrive academically and socially. The influence of these highly effective practitioners extends beyond measurable test scores; they cultivate a genuine love for learning, as well as confidence, resilience, intrinsic drive and curiosity in their pupils – all of which are harder to quantify, but vitally important. Through first-hand examples, John illustrates how high-quality pedagogy, coupled with a focus on personal growth, empowers pupils to grasp complex concepts that contribute to them making great progress in their learning at levels that they, themselves, hardly thought possible.
