"We all had a fantastic day. Craig's knowledge and enthusiasm was really inspiring and empowered us to make positive changes to our curriculum using outdoor learning as a focus. We can't wait to work with our children using the ideas that we took from the INSET day and know that they will be as inspired as we were."
