What teachers are saying

  • "The carpentry lessons were exceptionally well prepared, engaging and purposeful. The children were fully involved from start to finish and it was clear that the practical task of creating hooks to take home provided a meaningful and motivating outcome for them."

    Mrs G Sage, Headteacher, Clehonger School

  • "Wow! Absolutely fantastic! The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and haven't stopped talking about it all day! An excellent opportunity for children who wouldn't get this elsewhere."

    Mrs Fishpool, Teaching Assistant

  • "The carpentry workshop enabled each child within a small group; to learn the necessary skills to create a key holder. Safely using the tools provided at their workbench, the children worked enthusiastically with support and encouragement from the instructor (Laurie), who was friendly and helpful."

  • "Laurie gave clear instructions, careful planning and had a strong focus on safety. Laurie ensured that all children were able to participate confidently and successfully. The quality of the finished products was impressive and the children had so much pride taking their work home."
