The Good Schols Guide review of The Basic Skills Centre
The Good Schols Guide review of The Basic Skills CentreFounded in 1999 by William Winterford, a battle-scarred teacher who was becoming less and less enamoured of the way education in the UK was headed. He ran the company until 2013, when he handed it over to Gillian Carberry (60s), a mild-mannered woman who hails from the north east, married with three grown-up children. Gillian comes from three generations of teachers and trained in Durham, specialising in art and primary education, though she also has experience in secondary, including working in an exclusion unit.
