Testimonials

Our biggest testimonial is that our reputation spreads by word of mouth. Our parents and pupils all enjoy their time at Canning Street.

"I personally was so impressed by the day and experience. I loved the school and the children we got to speak to. We all communicated to Miss Brown at the end how great we thought the set up of the day was. Perfect balance between information, observations and activities with the children.

We all thought today was absolutely fantastic. All staff were brilliant and the experience itself was really good. Really good blend between ‘lectures’, observation and actual activity. Slides had references to useful documents and research that is good to know as well. I think the general consensus is that it has been one of our favourite days in schools so far."

"I realise that it was around this time last year that I was at Canning Street, and I was reminded of my very happy memories there.

I still think about Canning Street. It is a special place. I was made to feel so welcome, and I really felt a warmth and a sense of community there. I hope that everyone is doing well.

I am very content in my life now, but looking back I am so grateful that I was able to start my teaching career in a place like Canning Street."
