What People Say

From the very start, Ian was easy to contact, quick to reply and very approachable. His session in our school was very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity he delivered, and the children were genuinely buzzing both before, and after, they had produced their pictures. Members of our Y6 class have already begun using phrases such as 'Growth Mind set' and 'Forward Thinking' in other areas of the curriculum, and this is a direct impact of Ian and The Doodle Bug. We are already looking at inviting him back for another session, later in the year, and would thoroughly recommend him to any other school - he was fantastic.
Ian came to our school to deliver a workshop and staff training. Ian has been to our school before and we loved his sessions so much that we were eager to invite him back. The sessions Ian puts on are fantastic and give the children a real sense of achievable success. He is great with the children and staff and provides excellent feedback to the head teacher about all aspects of the days. Because he visits so many schools it is great to see how your children compare across a number of factors to other schools in the country. The growth mind-set approach is key for our school and Ian highlighted this to the children. He draws on his own experience which makes the workshop realistic for the children as they can see the journey that Ian has been on. I would book Ian again in a heartbeat!
This is the second time Ian has visited our school to lead workshops and we were as delighted by the outcomes this time as we were the first. Ian conducted himself like part of the team and built positive rapport with the children and staff. This time we had included staff training and this was very useful, particularly for staff new to our school, including two ECTs. I would thoroughly recommend Ian's workshops for promoting a growth mind-set and building resilience, both of which are hugely beneficial to all children.
Ian was a delight to work with from start to finish. His thorough planning meant that the workshops in school were delivered in a manner that suited our children, who all benefitted hugely from them. The sessions were enjoyable and the children and staff were impressed with what they could achieve. Ian's assembly on growth mindset was impactful for the children, staff and parents that we invited to join us. The staff training session was very useful in terms of practical approaches in the classroom and the recommendation of further reading/resources.
Working with Ian was excellent. He was patient and understanding to context of my school and made sure that everything went smoothly. His communication was very good before, during and after the workshop. The workshops assemblies and staff training was very good. The objectives were clear and met. Ian brings a lot of his passion and interest into the workshop which I think is really important and certainly made a great impact on the workshops being successful. I was not expecting the reports on each classroom and their resilience/GMS so this was a nice, added surprise but very informative. If you want to teach and develop a GMS in your school, I wouldn't hesitate to book Ian.
Ian was by far the most organised and well prepared visitor I have had the pleasure of working with. His commitment to his role and to his business is exemplary. The workshops were pitched well and key messages regarding resilience and well being were woven in throughout. The children were thoroughly immersed in their work and were proud of their completed art work. Both the assembly and staff development sessions displayed Ian's wealth of knowledge and expertise for work on growth mind-set and provided both staff and children much food for thought. The feedback given following the visit was incredibly detailed and insightful. An excellent day which was very fairly priced. I would recommend both the workshops and staff training session
