What teachers are saying
“The programme you have put together is excellent, with the mixture of discussion, quizzes and videos, and I was amazed how many of the facts and information the children were talking about on the way home. I have rarely been on a trip when the children have been so enthusiastic - and the teaching assistants who accompanied us were also raving about how excellent it was - so you have done a great job!”
“I’d like to thank you for the fantastic visit to the Greater London Authority. Our groups enjoyed their visits enormously, pupils and adults! Please thank the rest of your staff for making this trip so educational for our pupils. They learnt so much about London and local democracy that they did not know! We hope to make this an annual event!”
“Our visit was entertaining and incredibly informative. Every child who has attended the sessions has returned to school enthused about the local democratic process and have learnt more on such in a few hours than I certainly could have taught them in an academic year. Thank you so much on behalf of my school and the pupils that have benefited from your hospitality.”
“I really appreciate your flexibility in the timings and organisation of the trip, and your helpful approach to make the trip as easy as possible for us - it really helped make the trip the success that it was. The children had a great time and loved the visit to city hall and found it very interesting indeed. I spoke to them about it afterwards and their feedback was very positive - and I feel that much of that is due not only to the presentation and content which were good, but also to the way in which you deliver that content to the children. Your respectful approach to them, interest in all their questions and enthusiasm for London, city hall, etc. was all conveyed to the children, helping them to feel confident and proud of being Londoners! The parents and staff who had joined us to help also commented on how interesting the trip was, and also told me how impressed they were with how you spoke to the children and explained everything.”
“You gave us such a warm welcome and your hospitality was really appreciated. The children were enthused by the trip and the presentation, the London Quiz and your question and answer session were excellent. The day was such a success and I wanted to thank you for the part you played. The children walked in this morning saying how amazing it was and the adults on the trip are talking of a return visit with their own families.”
“I just wanted to say what a wonderful morning you gave us at City Hall. None of us had been before and we were all thrilled with the visit. We were very taken with your enthusiasm and clear pride in both the work of City Hall and the completely wonderful building. We loved the tour and the session downstairs was both fun and informative. The children overwhelmingly preferred City Hall to the Houses of Parliament!”
