“The students in the class engaged really well, with all the tables taking full part in the activities, feeding back from them, a good number volunteering and some asking questions […] there was lots of diversity in activity style, and a range of methods of teaching important points”
Head of RE
“The pupils had a platform for questions which had obviously been on their minds”

“As a teacher, Reach asked if I could help arrange the CU. All I do is ensure it appears on the list of extra-curricular clubs on offer to students and provide my room. Reach set up, run the session, and tidy away afterwards – all while I’m at lunch. Students really enjoy the sessions and I even come back to find a slice of home-baked cake on my desk. What could be easier?”
Head of RE
Reach provides our students with a fantastic opportunity to encounter members of local Christian communities, hear a variety of perspectives and pose meaningful questions.

“An enormous and heartfelt thank you to you and your colleagues for coming in on Friday and earlier last week. Again the feedback from the students was very positive when I saw some of them later in the day. The chance to chat in smaller groups is particularly valuable for them and I like the organising categorising activities. The use of video clips was also great – that always engages them.”

“She’s open to talking about anything in our mentoring sessions; like if you only want to talk about how your day was. She’s very comforting and good at helping you solve problems. She’s respectful of your boundaries and the sessions are very helpful.”
