The pupils were very proud of our results and it has spurred them on to work really hard in other areas too.

Your programme has a significant impact on their education and their future life chances”

Dame Maureen Brennan - Headteacher

“I fully endorse the programme and wish for our partnership to continue. It is run by experienced and professional staff with the best interest of the pupils in mind.

The Results are pupils staying on a full timetable and leaving school with extra qualifications”

S J Stokes - Key stage 4 co-ordinator

“... This is a very valuable opportunity for our students and parents. Staff and pupils all regard this programme very highly.

Furthermore, I do feel that in these ‘credit crunch’ times it is most important for us as educators to provide students with practical qualifications that will encourage them to explore further training and therefore secure skilled employment”

Mrs Village - Deputy Headteacher

“I would like to take this opportunity to praise the positive influence of the ForwardFor programmes at our college over the past two years.

A variety of ability students have benefited from the courses, from ‘disaffected; students through to high ability musicians. The course allows lower achieving students to gain valuable points (equivalent to 2 x GCSE B grades) toward further education when traditional GCSE subjects are not suitable”

Richard Ravenhall, Music Co-ordinator

“Your support for our students has been exceptional and students will leave this year with the equivalent of additional GCSE’s which otherwise they would not have done.

This supports the school on its drive to improve the average points score and GCSE success of all its students. Some of our students who were at risk of disaffection have certainly gained this year with your input and so have improved their life chances”

Mr Smith - Deputy Headteacher
