I am writing to congratulate you on organising the recent World Class Schools assessment event at Riverbank Academy. I really enjoyed the day and I am so glad I made the time to attend with the students. Our three ambassadors really enjoyed the event and I am sure that they, and the others involved, have benefited enormously from the process.

I think it was an inspired choice to host the event at Riverbank Academy. I was very impressed by the school – it has superb facilities and the environment is clearly really well cared for. Even more important, it has a wonderful ethos based around ensuring that every students receives the best possible start in life. In a sense that’s what World Class Schools stand for – so the location directly mirrored the values that we all share – every child deserves an excellent education.

I’m very much looking forward to being part of the network.

I greatly admire everything that your organisation is doing to champion schools in similar contexts to ours, by providing all young people with a voice and celebrating their achievements.

It was an incredible day and we felt so proud to watch all of the students stand up and talk with such confidence to such a large group! One of our students contacted me last night as he had received a wonderful email from his assessor suggesting he looks at being a shadow assessor next year! This has boosted his confidence enormously!

Thank you so much for this opportunity, it has been a very rewarding experience so far!!

Days like that give me hope for the world.

I thought the special school/ mainstream school mix was an absolute triumph and all the students had a steep, rewarding and powerful learning curve which they all embraced with charm and enthusiasm.

I would like to say that Maria has been of an immense help and really supportive whenever I had to enquire about something. I am keen to get our students engaged with WCS activities more than before and I look forward to working with you and your team.
