Sally Brand, Ashcombe School Summer Transition Workshop  

“I am a great believer in good work being publicly recognised and wanted you to know how very impressive they both were.  They set a perfect pace-I’m sure you know most 11 year olds have a short concentration span-and the students were never bored.  Their enthusiasm was infectious and we all enjoyed the seemingly endless games they both had up their sleeves!

The students really benefited from the week and are now in a much better position to start at secondary school later this week.  Many of them were extremely anxious and it was lovely to see them grow in confidence over the course of the week.   They are very much on the front foot now-a great place to be.

Well done to Jack and Vicky from us all and a big thank you!”

Lorna D’Arcy, Action For Carers, Workshop For Eagle Extra

Rachel Bull, from TiPP

“I supervised and supported Vicky when, as part of her degree, she delivered a three day drama residency in a prison in 2013. She was an asset to the group of five facilitators with whom she worked and was able to take on various roles within the group.

Vicky was a confident and energetic facilitator when leading activities and an enthusiastic and supportive participant when she wasn’t. She was very playful and didn’t take herself too seriously when creating characters and scenes.

Vicky displayed a good depth of knowledge of the practice and the environment as well as an awareness of herself and understanding of reflective practice that displays a great maturity.”
