A Reference for Rose Popay

Rose spent a few days at Corsham Primary School, Wiltshire to carry out a project
with groups of pupils with special needs, some with moderate learning difficulties and
some who have specific learning difficulties caused by speech and language
impairment. I was immediately impressed by her natural abilities and the way she
engaged with the children, who ranged in age from four to eleven.
Taking the term’s topic of ‘life cycles’ Rose and the children created two, impressive
large, colourful canvases which all of the twenty four pupils contributed towards. The
medium of black marker pens with acrylic paint was accessible to all pupils and led to
them showing high levels of care and concentration, which for many of them is
unusual. They were inspired and enthused by Rose and by the end result, and eagerly
persuaded the teachers to allow them to show their beautiful work in a school
assembly. This has been fantastic for their self-esteem.
Rose introduced herself and engaged the pupils’ attention with a Power Point
presentation. She proved herself to be very tuned in to her audience which,
considering their varying levels of comprehension and expression of language, was
skilful. Her quirky, good natured humour and positive approach created a warm
atmosphere in which there was a lot of laughter and calm, constructive conversation.
She carried out her project in an organised, tidy way while involving the children in
all parts of the process.
I would highly recommend Rose and I wish her well for, what I am sure, will be a
successful future.
