TESTIMONIALS FOR GRAMMATIX
Mark McCourt
Educator & Author of
Teaching for Mastery
"Strikes a perfect balance between rigour and inspiration. Sarah's meticulously planned, comprehensive journey through the study of grammar equips the reader - whether they are a teacher, pupil or parent - to get the most out of great writing and to produce great writing themselves. Enjoy."
Andrew Nott
Chairman of IAPS
"I commend this excellent book to every English teacher."
"Sarah is an outstanding teacher of English and has inspired the many children she has taught over the years. Not only is she an enormously creative teacher but she combines this with a talent for covering the many aspects of grammar that have too often been neglected, or not taught well. I am so pleased she is now sharing her resources and years of experience."
Debra Myhill
Professor of education,
University of Exeter
"Many teachers will find Grammatix a useful reference point for checking/building grammar knowledge, and the examples of analyses of real texts will be enormously helpful."

Laurence Jennings
Dragon School
"Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending your course on preparing children for CE at 13+ and I just wanted to thank you for such an enjoyable day."
" It was highly informative, affirming and interesting and will certainly be of immense benefit to the department."
Philip Gibson
Davenies School
"....a very impressive course. What came over more than anything was that Sarah had taken time to arrange her scheme of work thoughtfully, sequentially, logically and in order to build skill upon skill."
"She is clearly a passionate and thorough head of English."
Grainne Dennison

"I found your course in London truly inspirational."
" Repeatedly since then I have shared with my fellow department members my thoughts (and indeed your thoughts) from the day. I do believe that good prep school teaching can set up a child for life and we are keen to extend our skills in this area."
