But don’t just listen to us. Here is what others say:
“I was very impressed by what I saw at St Osmond’s Middle School. Mr Beckingham’s anti-bullying literacy project clearly encourages a culture of respect and good behaviour – and it was also clear that the pupils were thoroughly engaged with this project and enjoying themselves as well as profiting from it. That is a happy combination!” Oliver Letwin MP, Minister for Government Policy in Cabinet.
“I would like to thank Mr Beckingham for being such a huge inspiration, both to pupils and staff. When he is speaking you could hear a pin drop, even for presentations that last up to an hour in a hall filled with close to 200 children. And when Mr Beckingham allows them to talk while working to task, it is positive noise, with the children always working constructively together, with great results. Together with our neighbouring school Bishop Tufnell Infant, we have hired Mr Beckingham every year since he first visited us over a decade ago.” Mrs Limbrick, Assistant Head at Bishop Tufnell Junior School.
“We have had Mr Beckingham come in to teach a wide range of activities over the years, from survival in the Australian desert or the Amazon rainforest, to stories from the Caribbean, Ancient Egypt, and Norse Vikings. For Book Week he taught hundreds of children to create interactive storyboards, with groups of 185 children at a time, and every child successfully completed a workable story draft within the very short 45 minutes allocated. I have already booked him to come back in June for Native American stories, combined with a workshop in Native American art.” Miss Thurston, Year 4 Group Leader.
