Quotes from teachers whose students participated in the scheme during the summer of 2008

An excellent scheme for the students who get the opportunity. All have agreed that it has been a worthwhile experience and intend to use it to enhance their UCAS applications.
Margaret Lane, Head of Department, Abbey Grammar School

Every pupil who has taken part in the scheme has benefited from increased confidence and general experience. It has usually improved motivation during their final year at school and they have all achieved admission to their prefered University courses.
Lynn Friedrichsen, Principal Teacher Faculty, Dumfries Academy

Our students benefit from this experience tremendously, especially as many of them are identified as coming from areas of social deprivation.
