UNIT 1: Aspirations group 2006 Droitwich High School
"All students within the group were excited about the course and therefore keen to fulfil their targets.
It has definitely been a big impact on the group (eg. Tom's attendance has improved dramatically and Richard's attendance and behaviour in school has improved). The students have, quite clearly, really enjoyed all aspects of the course, both in the classroom and by the lake. All have felt a real sense of achievement after learning the basic skills and have caught a fish! The supervision and coaching have been excellent. The atmosphere by the lake was fantastic." Andrew Ward - Head of Year 8
Behaviour Outreach Support Team - Elgar Technology College
"I am writing to inform you of the very positive experience and progress which our students have gained from their fishing course with Mark Eacock. Since commencing this course, three of our students have achieved many skills, including their own self-esteem, confidence and team work." Natalie Worth - BOST
Summer Fishing - Integrated Services for Looked after Children
"We are grateful for the high level of understanding, patience and adaptability shown when dealing with this group of youngsters, some of whom have complex personal problems. On behalf of myself and the staff team, I would like to thank you and your team for your input. We look forward to working together with you in the future." Team Manager - ISL Team 1
Sports Leader - The Priory Centre
"The fishing with education project certainly has what is required. Students have clear goals, the 'lesson' element is structured and the discipline is both firm and friendly. Regular feedback is given on progress and, in fairness, they took from me some of our most challenging so-called 'sharp end' students. The latter actually enjoy their structured day." Eric Young - Head Teacher
