Testimonials

"It has been fantastic to see how the work Mr Vince has done with the Year 4 children has helped to develop their confidence and self-belief. They have beamed with pride when receiving their awards for each section of the course completed. The work Mr Vince has done with them has linked to many areas of the curriculum e.g. orienteering and presenting skills during group work and it has been thoroughly beneficial for them to do this work in meaningful contexts. The children have thrived on the various challenges and it has been clear to see their confidence blossom and develop further. This has set them in excellent stead as they make the transition into different schools".
