"Working with Sarah allowed us to carefully consider our approach to our RSHE curriculum, what key knowledge, skills we wanted our students to know. It allowed us to map out our curriculum and develop our spiral curriculum to revisit and address any misconceptions to ensure our students understand how to lead happy, healthy, safe lives.
"Sarah is knowledgeable and questions your thinking to ensure you have thought about your PD curriculum carefully. We have been working with Sarah for over 24 months and this relationship has greatly helped to ensure our PD curriculum is meeting the needs of the students and the communities we serve".
Janet Madden
Assistant Headteacher Bedford High School, Leigh
"Sarah began supporting St Luke’s Academy in 2019 and has since formed strong relationships with the school, returning each year to support us in many ways. Initially, we reached out to Sarah to share her expertise in PSHE and RSE. Since then, Sarah has worked alongside our children, staff, Governors and parents.
"Having worked with Sarah, our staff now feel confident to teach and deal with any situation that may arise during both our PSHE and RSE sessions, thus helping to create a trusting classroom environment. Both our Governors and parents have received training from Sarah with whom they felt in safe hands. The training has always been both informative reflecting the latest legislation whilst sympathetically discussing some tricky issues. Sarah has become an invaluable asset to St Luke’s whom we hope to continue to work with".

For Other Organisations
A variety of organisations might want to share their messages or ideas in schools. Sometimes understanding how schools work or how to develop high quality learning materials can be a barrier. If your topic relates to PSHE education or wider Personal Development, I am able to support you with this. In recent years I have completed work for charities and small and medium size businesses. I can offer:-
• Upskilling on the education system
• Support to ensure lessons are age appropriate
• Guidance on the curriculum and statutory requirements
• Quality assurance and review of teaching materials
• Writing lesson plans and accompanying resources
• Training for staff to deliver high quality PSHE education sessions
"Sarah has been fantastic to work with on our school-based initiatives. Her expertise and deep understanding of primary education give us a clear advantage in effectively embedding our Sun Safe Schools accreditation within school settings.
Sarah has thoughtfully reviewed our content, themes, and overall approach to ensure that materials are engaging and age-appropriate for children, while also providing practical support for teachers implementing the accreditation in their settings. Sun safety is often an overlooked area in schools, with many teachers feeling under-supported and left to create their own lesson plans and resources. Sarah’s insight has helped us address this gap with clarity and confidence.
"The Sun Safe Schools website is now the most comprehensive offering of its kind in the UK, providing robust, evidence-based interventions to embed sun safety into the curriculum. This work is instrumental in supporting our mission to integrate sun safety into all school settings and drive meaningful behaviour change for future generations.
"We are proud to work with Personal Development Matters, and Sarah has been a pleasure to collaborate with throughout. She consistently adds real value to our work and we can highly recommend her services".
