TEACHER QUOTATIONS

“I had no idea what it would be like; I was surprised and hugely impressed. Excellent!” Deputy Head - King Edward High School – Stratford

 “Time went very quickly, a pity it couldn’t have been longer, it was actually much better than expected, the pupils responded superbly to David. The teachers were very positive, the students related very well to the presentation; they were focused, interested and paid attention even though they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.”  St Benedicts R C High School – Alcester

“Kept pupils interest for the duration, excellent. The pupils were enthralled and it was far more fun and interesting than we could present it! A lot to take in but the competitions helped them to pay attention. Teachers thought it was excellent, fun and informative for all. Not just a “Say No to Drugs” Campaign, it promoted a healthy outlook & made it a “cool” option to choose.” Campion School – Leamington Spa

“Very good at keeping the girls attention, more memorable than leaflets etc, better than class sessions, more exciting. Good basis to complement PSHE & Citizenship can reinforce later. Teachers thought it was very good, important points reinforced, girls listened & remembered. It was exiting & energetic. Students were very enthusiastic; their attention was kept throughout by interspersing “fun” activities with serious messages.”
Stratford Girls Grammar School – Stratford

“Very inspiring informative & well prepared. A presentation like this one brings PSHE to life and complements everything we do day to day. Teachers were very impressed with the message & style of delivery.” Trinity Catholic Technology College – Leamington Spa

 “Well organised and professional, relates to work on drugs awareness which is part of our PSHE programme, good mix of activities, music, messages & competitions. Good message to suggest there is an alternative.” North Leamington School – Leamington Spa

 Kept the students involved throughout, great messages not just crime & drugs but also looking after the school etc. Teachers thought it was very good, enjoyed it themselves and thought the messages were very powerful. Students thought it was excellent, really enjoyed it and got fully involved.”
Kineton High School – Kineton

“Informative, stimulating, a well polished, professional act. David has always done a terrific job at the school – this year was even better. His programme has been refined and was totally suitable for the target audience, many of the issues addressed in P.H.S.E. were included in the presentation, it adds a new dimension to getting important messages through. This style of presentation captures the children’s imagination in a way that normal classroom teaching cannot do. Both teachers and pupils thought it was excellent.” Myton School – Warwick

 “Excellent ‘crowd’ control got a very receptive, appreciative audience, superb concert style, kids loved it, thank you David, very much, both teachers and students thought it was excellent.” Aylesford School - Warwick

“Excellent in all areas, set up, performance & experience. Fantastic – David’s enthusiasm has a huge effect on the pupils he keeps their attention in a way that most people can’t do – A natural presence! It supports PHSE really well and again from experience the pupils remember the presentation for a long time. Perfect the kids and staff loved it! Would definitely recommend.” Alcester High School - Alcester

“Right amount of time to keep pupils attention, much better than expected, the pupils were more involved than I expected, this made everyone remain focussed. PHSE has spent the autumn term discussing working together to help each other, this was well timed, it covers issues we discuss in school. The pupils participated well and this demonstrated their attention, year 7’s related to music extremely well, it is an excellent medium to get across a positive message.” Campion School – Leamington Spa
