Testimonials “The Transition to Secondary course was excellent! The facilitator was organised - time management was fantastic. She explained the tasks very clearly and all the children knew exactly what to do as a result. Resources were excellent as were the tasks – all the children were engaged and focused. A really brilliant way of preparing children for secondary school.’” — Primary School Teacher “I’m a trustee because I truly believe in the positive impact of parents working with their children to improve their academic and social progression.” — Zainab Awaleh “Both myself and my daughter enjoyed the Bridging the Gap course. We found it opened up very important issues for discussion.The area’s covered were spot on and the variety of presentations etc... were fun and interesting. The course also enabled me as a parent to find out what my daughters thoughts and views were on the various topics. A big thank you to Elise and her team for all the hard work and effort she has put in to bringing this course to us.” — Parent who attended Bridging the Gap “Bridging the Gap has really helped me develop confidence in and out of school. In all my lessons I’ve been more confident with classwork, also I can more effectively share my idea’s in teamwork activities. I really enjoyed going as well. It has made me aware of the people around me and it has helped me prepare for upcoming tests and assessments by doing quizzes and fun activities. In PSHE it has helped my levels go up because we talked about relationships, morals, friendships and who to talk to when we are upset. Elise is a great person to talk to and learn from due to her positivity, encouragement and leadership. It is a great course to do.” — A student who attended Bridging the Gap “I must say I’m very happy me and my son took part as it has helped me in so many different ways. Elise is an amazing teacher, the depth she explains everything makes what you believe to be a hard task easy. She also told us it’s ok to fail at times which I believe is important for kids to know. I hope the school do continue to keep this course running. Thank you for everything.” — Parent who attended Ambition 2 Success “Thanks for running your Ambition 2 Success course. It has provided a level of support in working with our vulnerable families that has been crucial. The team worked very efficiently, with well organised resources and a clear plan for delivery. I would like to share a key highlight from our success stories with one of our students. Teacher feedback has been pouring in, in regards to the leap in their homework being submitted, the amount of work they are writing in sessions and I personally am happy that his punctuality has improved. Their mother fed back that she really enjoyed the opportunity to bond with her child and take part in the course. ” — Feedback from a school we worked with Feedback From One of Our School Partners
