The staff at Aspire2be were fantastic. With a limited understanding of ICT in our school and local authority, Martyn and the team set up everything from ordering our Chromebooks and trolley to dealing with our local authority and internet issues to setting up our accounts. The Chromebooks are fantastic and have made a real difference to the ICT provision at our school. We feel that for a reasonable price we have received a quality support and installation package by the team. I’m sure that we will continue to make progress across the curriculum.

Teacher feedback from Up-Beat project in Ty Sign Primary

Ty Sign Primary
The week has gone too quickly. Consistently very good presentation and support.The programme delivered a combination of useful technology coupled with associated and relevant pedagogy, enabling a complete package to take away and work on.

Thank you so much amazing, to be honest I was a bit daunted with IT before I came now I feel so confident to be able to do this thanks again.

Fantastic. The week has flown by and it’s a shame that we don’t have even more time. The training has been informative and inspiring and I’m already looking forward to seeing them staff again a fortnight to show what we have started to do in school.

AMAZED !
Loved today – These sessions are exactly what I wanted before I knew what I needed.I can’t wait to have the time to explore how to use all of the apps we’ve reviewed so far and start making plans !

Another great session. I’m really impressed with the people from Aspire2Be and their training style and content.
It’s very informative and at a good pace for the members of our group.
The Apps today were extremely useful and have great potential for use in my area in school.

The programme has opened the eyes of the staff at Dylan Thomas School. The team have been terrifically helpful and accommodating and have made all the training and CPD extremely positive. The programme has energised the staff closest to it. The pilot project at Dylan Thomas Community School has been a success and we now seek to develop it. The evaluations (pupil/staff) whilst qualitative in nature were extremely positive. The use of iPads has energised the learners and facilitated improvement in their self confidence. The pupils believe that they have made significant progress and that has been clearly evident to all concerned.
