Testimonials

Here at By Design, we're proud of the work we do for our clients up and down the country, so if you're thinking of hiring us to run science workshops, education days or large-scale events, take a look at what our customers have said about us:

 

E. Webb, Yr 9 pupil:

• "I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the enthuse day at my school today. I was really inspired by the talks and workshops. I have looked at your website tonight and I am now really interested in a future career in environmental science, as it looks interesting and challenging. Maths and science are my favourite subjects and I hope that one day I will be able to go to university and study a related subject. Again, thank you very much for an interesting, enjoyable and thought provoking day."

 

P. Saunders, Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator, Charles Dickens School, Broadstairs, Kent:

• "Thank you so much for arranging such a successful and inspirational day for our students. The mentors you sent pitched the workshops at exactly the right level, as well as being totally engaging and incredibly organised. The student feedback was excellent. I hope we will be able to work with you again in the near future."

 

N. Thomas, Teacher of Science at Longsands College, Cambs:

• I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team and the volunteers from npower from all of us at Longsands. The event was well organised and the staff were great at providing a range of strategies to make all of the information relevant. Most of the students engaged fully with the wide range of activities offered. It was a valuable part of their learning covering many areas of the curriculum.

 

Z. Bowie, Head of Careers and Work Related Learning at Dr Challoner's High School, Amersham:

• "This is our third year of these workshops and this has easily been the best yet. Robbie, Mike, Paul, Charlotte and Calley were outstanding and if I could have them all back again it would be great. Please! Many thanks once again for a brilliant day!"

 

K. O'Callaghan, Work Related Learning Co-ordinator, Trinity Catholic High School, Essex:

• "I am writing to let you know how much our Year 10 students enjoyed and benefited from the Olympics Enterprise Day. The team of eight young people from 'Team by Design' were all very enthusiastic in the delivery of the programme and interacted in a professional manner with our students. They kept up the momentum throughout the day and kept the content fresh and appealing."

 

D. W. Phillips, Headteacher, Childwall Sports College, Liverpool:

• "The professionalism and hard work shown by yourself and your team was greatly appreciated by staff and Year 9 students. The workshops were inspirational and motivated all students concerned. It will be a day to remember in the life of Childwall Sports College."

 

G. Sarjent, Director of Specialism, Greendown Community School, Swindon:

• "Just a note to thank you and your team for the enthuse program. As usual it was delivered in a way that interested and enthused our pupils. Your day really does make a difference to the options chosen and since you started working with us the number of pupils taking engineering has doubled and the ability of the pupils taking the option has risen considerably."

 

T. Digby, Cragside Primary School, Nottingham:

• "I just wanted to pass on my thanks for the excellent day that Year 5 have had... Both class teachers were extremely enthusiastic about the sessions and quality of all the activities. Added to that, the team were superb throughout the day, well organised and led brilliantly."

 

J. Blackman, Assistant Subject Leader in PE, Chilwell School, Nottingham:

• "Just a quick thank you and your team for a brilliant day. We really enjoyed the day the kids got loads out of the day. We are even having an assembly where some of the groups will tell their year group about their project."

 

S. Shelley, Lynn Grove VA High School, Norfolk:

• "They have been a pleasure to work with. They were hard working and professional and the pupils found them interesting, engaging and fun and I am sure that they have learned a lot about what engineers and technologists do 'in real life' as well as much science about producing electricity and its environmental impact."

 

G. Hicks, Sustainability Co-ordinator, Heathfield Primary and Nursery School:

• "Thank you on behalf of the staff and pupils at Heathfield Primary for the fantastic 'Climate Cops' day yesterday. Although I was not able to attend the events myself I have returned to school today and heard nothing but praise for the activities and facilitators. It has really engaged and enthused the children on the subject of saving energy and at least a dozen have spoken to me with enthusiasm about the day's events."

 

M. Thompson, Unity City Academy:

• "Just a note to thank you are your superb team for the Aspiring Minds day today at Unity City Academy. I thought the activities worked well and kept the young people active and engaged throughout. As a transition programme event it worked really well, with excellent feedback from Primary Staff and Pupils on how much they enjoyed being at the BIG School and working with our own year 7 students."

 

I. Matthews, Parkgate House Independent Preparatory School, London:

• "I just wanted to say how successful the workshop was. The children enjoyed the session very much and found it inspiring and valuable. Both Sara and James were fantastic leaders and I look forward to booking another session with By Design in the near future."

 

A. Smith, Aylestone Business and Enterprise College:

• "I am just writing to say a big thank you to you and your staff for yesterday's activities. The day ran very smoothly and your staff were a credit in the way they engaged all pupils. It was great to see some of our 'disaffected' pupils getting stuck into some mathematical challenges! We, as a department, and school, were very impressed and will certainly like to run the day again (or something similar) with other year groups during our Business and Enterprise days. Once again, many thanks, and we look forward to working with you and your company again."

 

L. Carpenter, Bilton School, Rugby:

• "Just a quick e-mail to let you know our students had a fantastic experience today. The feedback from students and our staff has been very positive. The introduction to the day was very inspirational as was the closing assembly. Your team and the GE volunteers all worked very hard and were also positive about their experience with our students."
