Testimonials:
“Thank you for having us. Your message and delivery was strong, important and eye opening for our year 6 students. We felt that the whole experience had a positive impact through making the children more aware, question things and think more deeply about their choices. We will be back next year!”
— Millfields Community School
”Thanks so much for a very well presented, hard hitting, eye opening, emotional presentation on the very difficult subject of knife crime. Our year five class remained focused the whole time due to the lively way the subject was delivered by the skilled presenters. They spoke to the children in a relevant way that allowed them to feel that they could ask deep questions on the subject.“
—Carpenters Primary School.
”Thank you for delivering your workshop to our Year 5 and Year 6 classes. It was emotional, it was lively, it was informative, it was hard hitting but relevant and it was delivered at an age appropriate level at all times. Every child came back and reflected on what they had seen and heard, it prompted discussions in our follow up PSHE lessons and the children asked questions about knife crime that perhaps before they might not have done. I would recommend the workshop to every primary school... Thank you, I look forward to visiting next year!”
— Sir Francis Drake Primary School
