I can honestly say I've never before seen the students this engaged for so long. They had an excellent day, and the school's management were very impressed with the work that was done.
Rob Simpson, Media Studies, Dagenham Park School
It was very, very good, the students thoroughly enjoyed it. They got really excited. It gave them an opportunity to work together as a group and they gained a lot of skills. They have recommended it to other young people they know, and I would definitely recommend it to any group. I am looking forward to working with FRE again in the future.

I thought the sessions were excellent. A lot of tutors use a top-down model but the FRE tutors communicated well with the young people and worked with them to their abilities. They engaged them from the beginning, breaking down barriers and putting them at their ease.

It was a real pleasure having the FRE tutors working with our young people at Regent's College. It was very beneficial and I hope that we can do something together again in the future.
Tim Maguire, Regents College Pupil Referral Unit, Hackney
What FRE does is something quite different really. It's not the formal sitting in lessons, at desks and working with pen and paper. The children can see that they are able to succeed in ways that are different to the normal way, and because of that they feel more positive about the things they do regularly in school. The activities delivered have been way beyond my expectations, the feedback I'm getting back from the children and the other adults has been absolutely top class, so its been really good and a pleasure working with you.

The event at our school was a fantastic occasion, really positive for both the students and staff. It had a great impact and the kids were thoroughly engaged in the work.
James Brownlie, Deputy Head, Samuel Rhodes School
