TEACHERS

“I was unfortunately unable to attend the presentation as I was interviewing new staff to the school. I have however heard very god reports back from staff and students and know that the head teacher was very impressed by what she saw. We intend now to monitor the impact the motivational morning had on target students. I will then contact you again with a view to doing a similar session with another year group”

“I just wanted to officially thank you for an incredible day yesterday. Our students absolutely loved it and were truly inspired. Please pass on our sincere thanks to all the presenters who were brilliant – it helped us keep our school open on a strike day and gave our young people inspiration to achieve their dreams. Budget permitting, later this year or early next academic year, we will definitely look to book you guys again!”

“The day went fantastically well. The Head Teacher observed the first session. He was more than impressed and is liaising with the head of Y10 to organise a similar session for them too. I will get back to you once I have the dates and details. Student feedback was 100% positive. Staff who observed it were all positive in there feedback. Please personally thank Edwina and Bola again from all the staff again. ”

On behalf of the staff and students at Sharnbrook may I thank you for a superb input. The feedback has been really positive. I am sorry I didn’t get to see you during the day. I am quite sure we will be able to go ahead with the 2 further events in January and July.”

"WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!! Sound the alarm....... Kamal was absolutely brilliant. Not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful Kamal was.  I really wanted to email you yesterday but could not get back to the computer as the students were asking sooo many questions.  I truly believe that he has made a huge impact on our students and it will be interesting to see how they are over the next couple of weeks.    All the staff in the room(Many who did not have to be there) were impressed with this young gentleman.  You must be very proud of him and I will be spreading the word.  I know in years to come when they talk about great people that they will mention Kamal's name and I will be proud to say I knew him too.  PLEASE,PLEASE pass on this email to him and all concerned.  Hopefully we will work with you again. – A very happy Jen."

STUDENTS

"You've managed to wow me once... and you've managed to do it again! I have heard nothing but positive responses from teachers as well as students, so Joshua can be reassured he's done a good job. I'll be conducting student surveys about the presentation to get official student feedback soon. Great job FixUp, we hope to have you guys back sometime."

"Hi there! 
The session with Action Jackson was absolutely fantastic,  I'm so glad I organised it honestly.  Everyone in my year felt so much better about themselves after,  I've never seen them more motivated and generally happy!  So many people in my year came up to me specially to tell me how much they enjoyed it and trust me when I say it's the best assembly we've had in a while! Thank you so much for everything, my year truly are grateful and so am I.  Please pass on our thanks again to action Jackson for making it happen - his words really have impacted us in such a positive way. Everyone loved the assembly,  teachers and students alike, was exactly what we needed at exactly the right time!
Thank you so much
Kind regards,  :) "

 “I want to say thank you to Bola for actually changing my life he gave me inspiration, determination and a purpose for wanting a brighter future.
He inspired many on Thursday after coming to Harborne, he came just in time as I was lacking with school work and had lost all inspiration. Me actually standing up in front of all those people telling them who my motivator was going to be and why I felt brave and as though I had gained confidence. I'm so grateful for speech he gave and I just want to thank him and all the team, you really did change me as a person! :)”

PARENTS

“.....Ahhhh ooooo'' from my son, a Year 11 student at De Lisle Catholic College. You visited today and delivered your GCSE Champion workshop and my son has come home full to the brim with rocket fuel! 
I wanted to email and say a MASSIVE thank you for engaging, inspiring and fuelling my son with self belief. My son is a man of few words and for him to come home and be excited about his GCSEs and future is a beautiful thing to witness. So from him and me keep inspiring and spreading the word of the Fix Up mentality."

"Assuming you are the team who worked over the last week or so with my daughters' school - Walmer Science College in Deal - I wanted you know how well you enthused and motivated the students and the staff during what is clearly a very difficult time leading up to the school's closure this summer. It was a pity that parents weren't involved but a very genuine thank you nonetheless from this father. Best wishes for the future. Bob Le Vaillant (PS. And they're still wearing the tee-shirts!)"
