Testimonials
booksplus
‘Kirklees is my 3rd local authority as a teacher and booksplus is easily the best curriculum resource service I have encountered. From my first visit in the summer I found the staff accommodating to any requests I had and willing to listen to new ideas.’
‘booksplus has been a constant source of support and resources to the learning resource centre at our school. The book exchange programme is always popular and provides the ability to refresh our stock of books regularly. The curriculum support boxes are always very useful, particularly the Shakespeare box which has been used well over the last two years.’
‘Wow! This term’s premium art boxes are totally fabulous! The departments are really going to love them.’
Cliffe House
‘Your setting is the most perfect place to take yr 5/6 children, a safe and welcoming environment … the very best provision of outdoor education and the quality of the teaching is excellent!’
‘Welcoming and safe, excellent range of activities, superb staff. I cannot praise you highly enough.’
‘The pupils gain so much from Cliffe House and it is a wonderful experience for them. All the staff at the centre are so caring and supportive and it is part of a memory of a lifetime. An excellently run and organised establishment.’
‘Thank you for our wonderful time at Cliffe House. The children really loved it; some thought they had visited paradise!’
Education psychology
‘I found this programme very informative and very interesting, it has helped me look at the bigger picture and look at different options…as a result of this programme, I will adapt my teaching….and be able to provide better support to children on ASD spectrum.’
Extended learning
‘I felt so proud when she received her certificate in her cap and gown at the university from a real professor. It is the first time any of our family have been in a university.’
Interfaith Kirklees
‘Thank you for a lovely time at the Sikh temple! My favourite part was seeing the 5 Ks and listening to the Emperor’s story.’
‘We were amazed at how the pupils responded by being still and quiet, to the meditation, which demonstrated some spiritual awareness and development.’
‘The experiential and phenomenological learning students gain from visiting faith centres cannot be replicated in the classroom and certainly cannot be found in text books or via the internet.’
‘Actually seeing things for real like the deities, the art work and décor in the prayer hall means this learning will stick in the children’s memories far longer than learning about faith via other sources.’
Kirklees Collegiates
‘I have learnt lots of new skills.’
‘I enjoy working with others, because I have become more confident talking to different people.’
‘The course has helped me to decide what I want to do as a job.’
‘The specialist facilities allow me to explore the subject in greater detail.’
Kirklees Supply Service
‘One of the biggest positives about working for KSS is that they pay to scale and you can continue paying and receiving contributions into your pension. This is the best agency I have worked for.’
‘KSS is the only agency we work with and whom we trust. Their approach in all areas is highly professional. All contact is polite, efficient, friendly and assuring. KSS always keep us informed of every step along the way, whether this is for a short or long term placement. I would not go anywhere else.’
MIS
‘Exceptional service at all levels. Couldn’t fault the assistance we have received, particularly when preparing our Reporting to Parents. Many thanks.’
‘Always very friendly and helpful and can always give an answer to my questions.’
‘Thank you for all the help, advice and support that has been shown. This has been particularly helpful in light of us being from a different authority. The tutor has clearly taken a lot of time to consider our needs and adapt the course to accommodate this – thank you.’
‘I feel more comfortable and more confident in doing an MPGL return on my own.’
Nexus
‘Fantastic service, Nexus have been very committed and excellent at communicating with school and employers. Without Nexus our students may well have not lasted year 11.’
‘I cannot speak too highly of Nexus, thank you for all you did with our students.’
‘As usual we are impressed by the high level of professional support received this year.’
Transformation and quality improvement
‘The consultant and the RE support team are highly skilled, greatly experienced, and forward thinking. They are also very accommodating and approachable.’
‘Thank you for making it all so clear. Now I can go and analyse our own data with confidence. It’s been an absolute pleasure. I now have the ability to drill down and find out what the real issues are.’
‘ It’s really good to network with other colleagues and realise that I am not alone. I feel like I’m in charge of the data and will approach the inspection differently now.’
