What schools say
“The workshops were fun and engaging. The presenter was fab! She had all of the children hooked with the content and made sure everyone could access to the learning through her enthusiastic delivery and hands on approach. This has really helped cement their learning. Thank you for everything and for making RE and learning about other faiths inspiring and exciting.”
