What teachers and pupils say ……
“These fascinating workshops give pupils practical, fun tasks while really making them solve problems cooperatively. They include higher order thinking strategies, which complement our own gifted and talented provision” Headmistress Susan Bailes St. Hilary's School Godalming
“A belated thank you for the inspiring visit you made to our school. The sixth formers and staff were most impressed by the exercises used. The sixth formers have included many of the areas covered in their A level course work.” Jill Davies, Subject Leader DT, Childwall School
"Getting students motivated and interested in mathematics is key to raising standards of achievement and these workshops definitely help to do that.
It was a really good way to motivate the students interest in mathematics, which we believe will improve GCSE grades. They were very positive toward the tasks and took it all very seriously” Carole Tilt, Head Of Maths, Chesterton Community Sports College, Stoke-On-Trent
“The students created larger than life sculptures, giving them a fantastic team building activity that was fun, educational and interesting” Laura Christie, Lead teacher Technology, Chichester High

Paul Brewer, Maths Teacher / Course Coordinator, Coombe Dean school, Plymouth.
“It is always a pleasure to welcome someone from Architecture Workshops to Hockerill. Your planning and preparation was very thorough, as it always is, and the responses to our students first rate, and as a result both workshops went very well.” Denise Sinclair, Head of DT and MYP Coordinator, Hockerill Anglo-European College
“The Day proved to be an excellent experience for the students and we have had many comments about how much they enjoyed it.”

“What a great day was had by the students, thanks entirely to the enthusiasm & professionalism of the presenter, an absolute star. I’ve worked with outside agencies coming into school to work students and the presenter is one of the best yet, I had to do very little… he was enthusiastic, not afraid to exercise control where necessary and is an absolute credit to Architecture Workshops.”
Chris Murray, Claremount High School
We were very impressed with the way the sessions were delivered and the way in which our pupils were engaged and worked cooperatively. Amanda Catterall, Altrincham Arts College
The activities provided were very engaging, and enjoyed by all. The organisation of the day was fantastic, and ensured active participation by all pupils, regardless of academic ability.
