James Giles, acting Deputy Head at Prestwood Lodge School:
"We were one of the first schools to agree to work with the Skill Centre; we
thought our students would really benefit from this type of vocational learning,
and they have. The school is working very closely with this provider with a view
to extending its commitment in the near future."
George Lloyd Head Teacher at Wycombe Grange:
"The Skill Centre UK team worked closely with us to establish our needs. The feedback from our learners has been extremely positive; we are very pleased
with the progress made in such a short time."
Stuart Marriott Deputy Head Princes at Risborough School:
"Can I just say how pleased I have been with the work that you and your team have done with our students. The boys enjoy every session and have gained a huge amount of experience this term- it’s just what they needed.’
I’m really looking forward to developing the programme further next year and seeing it go from strength to strength. Please pass on my thanks to everyone at
the Skill Centre."
Mr G Lloyd Head Teacher at Wycombe Grange:
"Courses have proved to be motivational for the majority of the students.
Practical Skills as well as ‘soft skills’ have been developed i.e working in larger groups; team activities.
Individual programmes have been enhanced by these vocational courses and students are opting to continue in year 11."
Dr D Jones Head Teacher at the Abbey Centre:
"The Skill Centre UK is a flexible and responsive partner to AVSSC. Referrals to
their provision are processed quickly and efficiently which contributes to our
ability to respond swiftly to demands mainstream school make upon our service. Importantly Skill Centre UK’s robust and transparent monitoring and evaluation procedures provides us with an essential informative and objective perspective of pupil progress.
This enhances our ability to provide necessary data which informs our practise, enhances our provision and supports our own strategic planning and development.
This creative and mutually supportive partnership has developed and flourished as a result of clear expectations on both sides regarding positive outcomes for pupils.
Their competitive and realistic costs allow us to access routes of accreditation that enhance and enrich our
vocational curriculum provision. The clear effective leadership and management of Skill Centre UK evident by their adaptability and development
in response to ever changing market demand reinforce our commitment to this rewarding partnership."
