Pupils
Good experience I learnt a lot that will help
me revise
I was impressed and actually scared at the power
of my memory
A good day that will benefit my future and help
achieve all my future prospects
I felt very privileged to be able to go on this
course
I want this to happen in my school
Can you organise something like this again?

Parents / Carers
Made me realise how simple techniques can make
such a difference to learning"
Courses like this should be held in school so
that parents can be involved in pupils learning
Helps us to develop our childrens minds
Useful for me as I am also studying for exams
