Testimonials
“Mrs de Ferrer supported us through an extremely challenging situation, helping us to cope, communicate properly and find a way through the difficulties.”
“When I was unsure of being at a U.K. university, Mrs Heywood helped and supported me through that transition.She was open minded and listened to all the potential avenues I was considering.
While tackling each option, she remained supportive and also greatly reassured me through helping me find out as much information I needed. I felt I was taken seriously, but calmly, with the aim to find a positive outcome. Nothing was every too much to ask, and while remaining professional, it felt personal and caring,
which really is what helps in facing a difficult time.
Overall, I don’t know how I could have managed it without Mrs Heywood, and her continuous support, advice and care.”
“For various reasons we needed to change our daughter mid year, in Year 9 ,when schools do not usually do an intake. After discussing our needs, Jo put together a very comprehensive list of suitable schools and guided us through the process. Mentioning Jo’s name at interview was also invaluable as one headmistress even said “ if Jo Heywood thinks your daughter would be a good fit for this school that is good enough for me”
Jo’s knowledge and advice was unparalleled, and she was available any time we had any questions or needed further guidance. I can not recommend Jo highly enough.”
“When I was really struggling, Mrs de Ferrer listened when no-one else took me seriously. She explained things to me really clearly and made sure I was able to get the help I needed. I’m not sure what would have happened to me without her support and advice.”
This week Kathryn and Jo about what do you do if you feel playground pressure.
