SUN Programme Feedback - Southern Universities Network

The session was great. All the staff supporting said the content was ideal, the topic very topical and the pace great – adapted because of the size of the group.

Teacher

Henry Cort Community College (SUN Entrepreneurs)

The sessions was a great introduction for year 9 pupils. Really interactive and engaging.

Teacher

Cams Hill School (Know Yourself: Get Career Ready)

Our pupils asked some very challenging question which Beth then went away and researched and had answers for on her return. Very proactive.

Teacher

The Westgate School (Understanding Apprenticeships)

Very informative for students and led to a good group discussion

Teacher

Bridgemary School (Empowering Student Voice)

An excellent workshop, students have a clear understanding of the 4 elements of employability.

Teacher

Upper Shirley High School (Boost Your Study Skills)

Both speakers Grace and Beth were very knowledgeable about the topic and were great with the pupils. I was with them both throughout the day and they were able to adapt their session to the needs and the groups they had.

Teacher

Admiral Lord Nelson (Know Yourself: Get Career Ready)

Vicki and Beth were superb. Presented brilliantly to our students, taking the time to get to know the students, remembering them from session to session and tailoring sessions to suit their needs. We were thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge that both Vicki and Beth were able to exhibit. The students gained valuable knowledge that will stick with them, and were able to do this through the excellent delivery. The students and staff could not speak highly enough of the programme and staff involved.

It was great for the students to interact with the employers directly and hear about their career paths, especially in an industry they don’t hear much about. The activities were also enjoyable and well-organised. It was great, not sure what could be improved 🙂

I enjoyed having a tour of the campus because it showed me all of the facilities available. I also enjoyed the Q&A with the ambassadors because it helped me understand what a normal day at uni would be like.

The student ambassadors were amazing! They were really chatty and were able to talk about their very different experiences. The tour was very good. Students need to be able to move around rather than sitting in one room all day; this was just right.

I think this day is really well planned and interactive, the budget planning is a great hook at the start of the day! It’s hard to achieve but if they could see inside more of the facilities or pehaps a lecturer? Excellent presenters & ambassadors today, thank you!

The one thing I enjoyed the most was budgeting because it taught me how to deal with money in a sensible way.

I am in fact surprised. I thought I knew enough about student leadership, but this experience fully opened my understanding of student leadership and how important we are in the school. Everything was explained in detail and I especially loved the games we played.

We had a great day! The boys loved it and got a lot from the day. Can I add that I thought Charles from The Speakers Trust was brilliant – his session really gave food for thought on communication/relationships. Thank you so much for inviting us.
