“BAW was absolutely fab! The children & staff loved it and felt that they gained a huge amount from it… The general chatty feedback was that the tasks were pitched at the correct level and the celebration assembly was a sign of all that is wonderful in our school. The parents enjoyed the talk given by the head during the week. Una Earley |

“Staff found boxes really useful and although we only used a small selection of the activities this time there has already been discussion on how the boxes can be used in the future. I went into one lesson where the Year 3 children (and a college student!) were fascinated with finding out about left & right side activities. Materials are well presented and user friendly” Many Thanks |

“Just to let you know that we did celebrate & learn lots during ‘Brain awareness week’… The materials are great – a lot of information & some lovely ideas… The teachers all spoke positively about it too. They had obviously enjoyed it as much as the children… We look forward to building on this work in the future & taking part again next year. Please keep us informed. Thanks.” Debbie Beeston |

“We had a fantastic week. Thank you!” 
“We had a superb week and the pupils have been buzzing” 
“As a school we all took part for a whole week… the info and resources from the boxes were amazing! It was trouble free to use and even the idiot’s guide for the ict was useful! Very impressed!! The kids all had fun and joined in each of the days activities.” 
“The week was very successful, both learning and teaching was enjoyed and the pack ensured that it was relatively easy to manage… Do you intend a follow-up next year?” 
“We had a great week and thoroughly enjoyed all the activities.” 
“We had a fabulous week - the materials were very useful and the teachers appreciated the fact that the work was almost done for them. We had open afternoons for parents and an assembly at the end of the week. It was a great week and we will certainly be interested again.”
“Have just had a staff meeting so this feedback is hot of the press! Generally the feeling is it was a fantastic week - children and staff loved it and there was a real buzz around the school. Children are still doing bits for their "Brain Books
The week was very much enjoyed by children, staff and parents alike… PS Could you provide details of any courses that you and Trevor are putting on in the near future in the Nottingham area?” 
“We had a FANTASTIC time and will continue to work with the materials throughout the year as we did not have time to do everything during the week. The children absolutely loved it -thanks for all the wonderful ideas!” 
“This is a really quick response to say congratulations to you on bringing your teachings to the masses!!! The ideas were received very well by the staff and children. We had a brilliant week, but have already discussed a bigger, even more fully involved BAW next year! Thank you again, we really enjoyed ourselves. Please keep me informed of anything else you are doing”
