‘Students tell me they like reading them, find them really interesting and useful and they have provoked many questions. The format is great, with lots of different types of information, quick facts, articles and advice.’
‘I know that both the teaching staff and pupils found the materials easily accessible and child friendly. It is such an important area of work we do in this area throughout the school that anything which enables children to be able to express their opinions, share experiences, ask questions and discuss concerns can only be beneficial.’
‘Tutors have provided feedback to the HOY, stating how easy the units were to work with and the preparation and materials were of a high standard. Within sessions pupils, had reacted positively to the work.’
‘As a team we have found these to be a very useful resource in the planning and delivery of lessons. The resource is a great starting point to introduce a topic, such as gang culture, alcohol and bullying.’
‘I found the resources to be very stimulating and thought-provoking. I was particularly impressed at the relevance of the material and the fact that it was highly contemporary. I believe this resource could make a valuable contribution to teaching and learning in Citizenship/PSHE.’
‘We have found the topics contained in the booklets to be thought provoking and challenging. Much excellent pupil debate has followed the various activities. Teachers have liked the clear, well presented and accessible activities and they feel the booklets have encouraged/ enabled the children to address issues that would normally not be discussed in school.’
‘I was impressed with the modern, stylish way in which your resources deal with sensitive issues. I would have absolutely no doubt that our young people will respond positively to them and be genuinely excited about using them. I could also see us using these resources to deliver extended form time effectively.’
