Testimonials

"Having worked with INNOV4TE for the past couple of years, they have shown their commitment, understanding and resilience to children and young people who do not 'fit' into mainstream education. INNOV4TE have shown care and compassion in working with three young people I currently support who are looked after children, each having complex trauma and attachment issues which impacts on their learning – INNOV4TE has provided them a safe haven, and these young people are thriving in their setting, passing exams, but more importantly, gaining an education as well as forming positive connections and attachments with teachers and staff – TRUST!"

"I honestly cannot put into words how much of a difference INNOV4TE made to our lives. I am truly thankful from the bottom of my heart to everyone there. The staff here truly care about not only the pupils but the whole family. They absolutely go the extra mile. A massive thank you to Stacy, Carla and Carlo."

"INNOV4TE work tirelessly advocating for our children and young people and what they need to ensure they can be successful in education – I cannot recommend them enough – I only wish they offered post 16, as they truly are one of a kind and are helping support young people in their journeys into adulthood in more ways than one. They are not just an education setting – they are a home."

"I have found INNOV4TE to be very responsive to any of my worries or questions. They have made themselves readily available if ever I need them. [Learner] loves it there and has a lot of care for his teachers even if he does not admit it. The trouble will be getting him into another school because he does not want to leave."

"Since starting at INNOV4TE this is the calmest I have seen [Learner] in a long time. [Learner] tells me they feel like they have no worries. Before INNOV4TE [Learner] would refuse to go to school, [Learner] is now happy to get up in the morning."

"Myself and Dad feel our son seems to cope better with a smaller classroom setting and shorter lessons and his attendance has improved. We also feel that [Learner] doing 1 to 1 mentoring in the morning helps him settle into the day that bit easier. If we have any concerns in regards to our son we contact INNOV4TE and everyone is willing to work with us to help [Learner] reach his full potential and to ensure he's safe."

"Since [Learner] started at INNOV4TE she seems calmer to approach in the family household and has grown as a person to feel confident and comfortable to attend a provision that understands her as a person. Stacy, Carla and Carlo have all taken their time in helping [Learner] to become a better person. Without their help I don't know where we would be — thank you all so much for your continued support."

"The most important thing for me is that it's enabled [Learner] to stay in a school and education setting which he wouldn't be able to do at mainstream school. With it being more suited for him and his needs, it makes my life easier too as we aren't constantly being called into school over every little thing and several exclusions. This has meant my son is less stressed about each school day."

"I'd like to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to Carla, Stacy and Carlo for all the help, support and guidance you've given [Learner] since June, especially the 3 weeks through the Summer holidays. [Learner] has some bad days but the good days sure do outweigh the bad. I don't know where we'd be now if it wasn't for you guys stepping in and taking him under your wing. Thank you once again — we as a family are truly grateful."
