What People Say
Tom Page
Head Teacher, Bradley Barton Primary
I employed Dez as a primary school computing lead a few years ago and I couldn't have wished for anyone better. His calm, patient style and clear explanations ensured all children could achieve and succeed. The computing standards in the school improved far beyond expectations and this was a result of Dez's positivity and passion he showed towards the subject and the children he was teaching.
Anna Lopez
Head Teacher, Bowhill Primary
Dez is an inspirational teacher. Children make excellent progress, both academically and personally when in his lessons. His calm, Friendly approach, humour and endless smile bring the absolute best out of all children who are lucky enough to be taught by him!
Emma Slaven
Head Teacher, St Leonard's CofE Primary
