TESTIMONIALS

Ruth Frain

Head Teacher at St. Cleopas Church of England Junior Mixed and Infant School, Liverpool

“An accessible and interactive piece of literature which addresses the needs of today’s children in an ever changing and conflicting society. An excellent resource in bringing home citizenship for the 21st century.”

Alison Johnson

Head Teacher at Longmoor Community Primary School, Liverpool

“The children enjoyed working through the Barney & Echo books. The subjects covered in the book are extremely necessary to teach primary school children before they reach the transition phase.”

Andrew Williams

Head Teacher at Moorfield Primary School, Widness

“At Moorfield Primary School we are committed to the well being of our pupils; as such we are always seeking innovative ways of delivering the more challenging broader curriculum to our children. We believe that enjoying the adventures of Barney & Echo will provide our middle juniors with an ideal opportunity to explore and discuss issues relevant to their real life circumstances.”

The Whitby High Schools

Sponsored books to complement the launch of their drug awareness programme for year 6 students. The project will be introduced through a Saturday School involving the parents and children of some of their Primary School Partners. This is seen as an important contribution to the education of young people and to the further development of the wider community dimension of The Whitby High School. Mr Alexander, Specialism Director, said:

“We are delighted to be able to continue our work with year 6 students in an area other than our Technology Specialism and we see the project as great benefit to parents and students alike.”

PC Liz Stanton

Schools Liason Officer for Cheshire Constabulary

“It’s a safe way to introduce these topics (drugs, tobacco and alcohol) to schools. It’s simple to use and generally school teachers are not equipped to tackle these issues alone.”

Kevin Fenney

Station Manager of Ellesmere Port Fire Station

“This was a good initiative for the fire service to get involved with and that also demonstrated partnership working and community cohesion. Ellesmere Port Fire Station were happy to support the purchase of these books to encourage citizenship and reduce anti-social behaviour including arson within the community of Ellesmere Port & Neston.”

Twin Valley Homes

Based in Blackburn Lancashire Twin Valley Homes sponsored books for Shadsworth Junior School & Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Roman Catholic Primary School. Ian Bell, Head of Housing at Twin Valley Homes, said, “We’re delighted to be able to support an initiative which supports the development of local young people to become responsible citizens.”
