“I have found working with Break Through over the PEP process very positive. The DT, Sarah Hawley, was very well prepared for the meeting, she had all the relevant information to hand and was able to provide clear information on all aspects of the learner. There are considerable challenges, not least his poor attendance, however the school have a plan to implement in January which will enable him to take some ownership of his learning and the school will make reasonable adjustments to accommodate his wishes. Hopefully with the support of the rest of the network this learner’s attendance will start to improve.”

“Thank you so much for your time today, and for showing us the school. It is genuinely fascinating to have now seen first hand the activities that are going on behind two seemingly ordinary looking facades in the village.

I would like to also extend thanks to those learners that we met with, who were incredibly welcoming to us, and are clearly very much at home in the setting. You are doing incredible work with these very vulnerable young people, and it was lovely to see not only their enthusiasm, but also that of the staff. I know that you frequently mentioned that the two buildings are not exactly ideal, but the warmth and calm of the environment shone through, and it is clear that you are having a very positive impact on all those who attend.”
