“Very refreshing to have CPD that was a bit different and involved a lot of participation and fun. Nice to see other areas of maths celebrated.” 

“The students really enjoyed the workshops and had the chance to explore the different elements of poetry that they may not have had the opportunity to within the classroom. The immersion aspect was particularly effective and this led to high standards of written poetry”

“The students, particularly those who don’t normally enjoy reading, found a new way to look at stories. They also loved the active trail which was part of the families session.”

The schools in our Manchester Hub have been delighted with the workshops. You have delivered some amazing sessions (as always!). Thank you so much for all your hard work – we really do love working with As Creatives!” 

“Thank you to you and your team for running such an engaging, challenging and successful event on Friday. The students seemed to really enjoy it and I’m sure the staff did too!” 

“The children absolutely loved the day, and all year groups were completely invested in it. The whole day ran brilliantly, and I cannot speak highly enough about Chris – he was a pleasure to work with, and was excellent with both the children and adults – he absolutely made the day as special as it was. We have also received positive feedback from parents, who enjoyed the family maths workshop, and as a school we were blown away by the attendance!” 

“Thank you so much for the brilliant experience given to the children on Monday. Bookman was great with the children: they all thoroughly enjoyed the workshops and the assembly in the morning. Having to be creative and use their imaginations reminded them about the enjoyment of reading.” 

“The visit yesterday was amazing,  Jay (Bookman!) was a fabulous start to the day with his assembly, which really caught the kids’ imagination. I had staff coming to tell me they were shocked when he burst forth from the cupboard and surprised the hall. He was brilliant – and I’m especially impressed that he managed to work with children ranging from reception to Year 6s and entertained them all. It’s created a great buzz around the school about reading which is brilliant in the week of world book day.” 

“The children had a wonderful time and every year group was inspired, challenged and excited by the activity and Jackson’s approach. We found the idea of the workshops so clever and there was such a variety of maths involved. In 14 years of teaching, it’s the best workshop I’ve seen!” 

“There was a definite buzz from the pupils.  They enjoyed being outside and using their maths skills. It was clear that the students were using a wide range of maths skills, from numeracy to reasoning, without realising it.   I was particularly delighted to see my Year 4 children using measuring skills, data handling, problem-solving, shape, which I have taught so far this year and using appropriate vocabulary and ‘maths talk’.   It made maths come more alive for them. Thank you again for the excellent service provided.”

“Across the course of the day our entire Key Stage 3 engaged in both the training game and the bunker sessions and all students came out of the sessions absolutely energised. All who witnessed the level of buzz and atmosphere in the room were simply blown away by the engagement of students, the high energy environment and delighted in watching students find clever and innovative approaches. A superb day was had by all.”

“Jackson was amazing with the children, the content was fantastic and overall it was a great afternoon. Just last last year, the workshop was truly faultless and I would like to thank Jackson and everyone else at As Creatives because every experience we have had with you has been amazing!”
