It was a super day and Grayson Perry was fantastic. It was just the sort of prestigious and challenging talk that world class students should be exposed to.

Thank you so much for the World Class School celebration event yesterday, it was so well organised and I came away with a lot of information and great sharing of best practise. It was also lovely to see the other schools’ hard work and projects.

I firmly believe in the World Class network and all that it stands for. I really like the student centred approach specifically. I enjoyed my day out; it was very thought provoking. I really liked both key notes presentations. Thank you.

Just wanted to say thank you for Monday – I thought it was a great day and both I and the students found it really interesting and thought-provoking. I’m sure it took a great deal of hard work so I hope you have a good summer break.

I just wanted to say a big thanks for all of the thought provoking and useful sessions today. I know various of our students and staff have been accessing them. The session from EdTech and Sandringham was particularly useful. I have lots of notes and further research to do!

Thank you for hosting the World Class Symposium yesterday. Jenny, the girls and I enjoyed it very much. The girls are inspired to take the next step towards becoming ambassadors and we have a number of ideas for doing more with Student Voice, more around mental health and more to publicise the many opportunities we offer.

Thank you for organising a really interesting day. Our students thoroughly enjoyed today and gained much from the experience. In truth it is a busy week in school with Curriculum Enrichment Week but this was a thought provoking and truly world class day.

Really well done on organising such a fantastic event as well – I have some small insight into how much effort they take, so wanted to say great job.

A well composed day again with lots of relevant content and food for thought.  I was particularly captured by Russell Viner’s keynote and found myself taking notes of interesting comments and facts.

Thanks for a great day yesterday – the two keynotes were excellent.

It feels a privilege to be part of this excellent (can I use that word?!) group of schools, and I’m personally and professionally grateful for the opportunity to participate.
