My name is Alex Quigley. I work with schools, colleges and trusts to support them to improve their work. After over 15 years in the classroom, I worked for the Education Endowment Foundation as their Head of Content and Engagement. I n ow work as an independent consultant.
Throughout this time, I've authored books, such as:
- 'Literacy Essentials for Every Teacher'
- 'Why Learning Fails (And What to Do About it)'
- 'Closing the Reading Gap'
- 'Closing the Vocabulary Gap'
- 'Closing the Writing Gap'
- 'The Confident Teacher'
- 'Teach Now! English'
I also regularly write columns for TES magazine, and I have published articles for the Guardian, supported BBC articles, alongside articles for Schools Week, Teach Secondary and Teach Primary.
I have supported national policy, such as my involvement in the DfE's recent 'Writing Framework' group and the 'Teachers' Professional Development Expert' group, along with other policy projects.
My core services include:
- Conference keynotes
- Whole-school or college CPD days
- Trust-wide training
- Remote twilight training
- Bespoke partnership programmes (e.g. literacy, adaptive teaching)
- Publishing and writing commissions.
