Testimonial

"The project was the first of its kind and I think there is a definite gap in the market to help students of this background (from the refugee community) with deciding their future options and help their understanding of British systems and the decisions they will have to be making in Year 11. Well worth doing, and the staff delivering the sessions are professional, knowledgeable and compassionate, your students will be in safe hands." – A teacher in one school.
