Testimonials

The Planning for Retirement course is recommended to colleagues by 93% of attendees. Here is a small cross-section of the feedback we have received.

Ray Everitt, High Storrs School, Sheffield.

I have sent colleagues on your courses several times, and you will be pleased to know that feedback has been unanimously positive.

Ishbel Curr, The Friary School, Staffordshire.

Just wanted to thank you again for finding a space for me at the Birmingham conference last week. It was very very good! I could do with another six months at work to give me time to sort things out! But there was lots that I didn't know about and which I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't gone, and it was especially good to meet other people who are in a similar boat to me and with similar anxieties (as opposed to everyone at work who is just drooling with envy and think that I can't wait to leave!) I feel much more confident now about retirement - all due to the conference.

On the registration form, in the space for 'contacts', I left the name of our deputy headteacher (who authorises staff to go on courses). I also left the name of the ATL rep who was very interested when I told him about the course and would like to know more so that he can advise ATL members about TRA courses.

Martyn Coombs, Bedale High School, North Yorkshire.

I attended the course at Durham last Friday and found it to be one of the best courses I have ever attended..... I completed the evaluation form at the end of the course and marked everything 'excellent' but I would be grateful if you could convey my thanks to all who enabled the course to run so well.

Carole Howard, Hallwood Park School, Cheshire.

Thank you it was an excellent day very informative and elements of humour. Well done to all of the presenters. When next in Chester I may have another member of staff interested.

Judith Vale, Buxton Community School, Derbyshire.

An absolutely wonderful, inspiring day - I wish I had heard about this earlier. I was very worried about my retirement but now I am really looking forward to completing all my dreams.

Derek Lion, Willow Lane School, Lancaster.

An excellent day, removing anxieties and gained many 'nuggets' to take away. Time for me to reflect on my needs - excellent.

Roger High, New Road Primary School, Cambridge.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this course to anyone who is considering retirement and indeed I have already given your contact details to another head teacher.
