Case studies
Both our English and Maths results were up by an amazing 20% on last year, at 71% reaching the expected level. The school has never achieved results like this in it’s recent to mid history. You guys contributed hugely to the children’s and staff positive attitude, by teaching them that the power to achieve is all in their mind, they can learn to channel it, it’s not the preserve of a ‘clever’ few…they can all make it work for them and succeed. Which indeed they have!
This contributed to a customer satisfaction
level of 4.36 out of 5 in our SIM quantative survey, as well
as falling levels of complaints.
