Our MD, Chris Jay, recently visited Highcliffe School to deliver a Disability Awareness Activity Day. It was a fantastic day filled with learning, engagement, and a great thank you to everyone involved for such a warm welcome! Here's a quote from the staff:
Alt Text: A quote box in the Bascule colours (blue and red) contains the following quotation: "Chris was brilliant at delivering the workshops. He allowed students to be inquisitive and address questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. A large number of staff informed us that students continued conversations around the topics covered by Chris with their usual classroom teachers over the following days. We were really impressed with Chris' openness. We'd love to have Chris in again as we feel students really benefited from this experience..." Deputy Head of Achievement Year 8 and 9, Highcliffe School, after a disability awareness activity day
