Kim gave a fantastic presentation to all 400 of our students. Parents have positively commented how they believe they can use the strategies presented to them to support their children.

Always impressed with Kate and her energy/passion. Thanks again for coming in to support our students. Some of the students are applying the strategies that you went through on the day.

Our year 9's enjoyed the super speed study skills session. The sessions were engaging with breaks in between which I feel helped to keep them engaged - 5 stars

The year 10 cohort were focused throughout the day due to Jay's engagement with them all. The techniques that Jay explained to them will prepare them going into year 11 to help them manage their time but also engage with their learning/revision.

As always, Alan engages our students from beginning to end and the students are keen to try out the new techniques they have been taught.

The sessions were motivating and Alan is a very engaging presenter. The students came away with useful revision strategies which will help them prepare for their upcoming mock exams.

Kim delivered Super Speedy Study Skills to Year 10 and it was great to see the students enthused and engaged. It was perfectly pitched as they approach their first set of GCSE mock exams and we're pleased to have 2 further sessions booked in for the cohort in Year 11 to support them and to strengthen resilience for revision and exams. Student feedback has been excellent. - 5 Stars

We’ve worked with Positively You for the past four years, and they’ve very much become our go-to company for Study Skills support. The Super Speed Study Skills session with Year 10 was excellent, the content is always high quality, and the presenters engage really well with students. We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back in September for Part 2!

Everything was excellent. Thank you for your flexibility on the day too - 5 Stars

All students were engaged and said that the workshop taught them a lot. Very inspirational. We received two workshops by Dave from Positively You, for both year 10 and 11 - Exam Busters and Super Speedy Study Skills. The workshop was pitched perfectly. All students were engaged and got a lot out of it. Thank you very much! Diolch yn fawr!

Students came away from the workshops feeling more confident about revision and exams in general! After having our Positively you “super speedy study skills” students feel more confident about how to revise and are equipped with different techniques! Jay made the session interesting and engaging throughout. The resources were also brilliant so that students could take these away and remind themselves of the techniques they had learnt. Thanks for another year of wonderful workshops! Ridgeway Academy!

Dave was an excellent presenter and delivered high-quality content to our pupils to help them prepare for the coming months of revision in preparation for their AS and A level examinations. We are very grateful he was able to attend at short notice and deliver a 1 hour session to over 200 pupils. Thank you! We will definitely be looking for opportunities to use Positively You again to deliver sessions to our pupils.

The session was really engaging and the students were so enthusiastic about the quality of the workshop - 5 Stars

Thank you for delivering the revision session for our students and the parent workshop at our school. Both sessions were very well received. Staff and students found the student session engaging and informative, and many appreciated the practical revision strategies and exam advice that were shared. The presenter communicated clearly and created a positive atmosphere that helped keep students focused and involved. The parent workshop was also very valuable. Parents found the guidance helpful in understanding how best to support their children with revision and exam preparation at home. Overall, we are very grateful for the time and effort you put into both sessions, and we would certainly welcome the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

Clear focus now on build up to our internal exams. Parents also more engaged with the process. Excellent feedback from students about the support given. This was our second year of using Jay from Positively You. Another chance to ignite our KS4 students and kickstart them into the GCSE mindset. Thank you! Will be booking again for next year.

The session was brilliant and the pupils have got a lot from the workshop. Kim was fantastic at delivering the session, Kim was enthusiastic and clear throughout which kept the pupils engaged, the workshop was very interactive too which pupils enjoyed. Overall it was brilliant. - 5 Stars

We look forward to the Positively You session every year.....pupils love it, teachers love it and parents feel the session in the evening is informative and gives them the confidence to deal with their sons & daughters for the next few months. It always marks the best start to our revision season in school. Pupils receive their revision plans detailing revision they need to do over the exam period on the same day. They have all come in on the Tuesday asking loads of detailed questions about this and seem more motivated to get started. We have also noted a 100% increase in the numbers attending revision sessions before and after school following Jay's session.

The workshops are very engaging. Year 11 students have been talking more in tutor time about how to revise and how to make revision timetables. 5 Stars

Given that we booked the workshops with relatively short notice I couldn't believe how smoothly and efficiently the whole process was. The organisation of the event was really clear, communication was excellent. On the day itself Jay was great, he was enthusiastic and really held the student's attention. The students really enjoyed the sessions and felt that they had got a lot out of them. Year 11s in particular were really focused and we had a lot of discussions around the different techniques and which ones they were going to try out in various subjects.

Kim was engaging and got students interested quickly giving them things to physically do to break up the talking and writing. This really boosted our Year 10's students confidence to study. Students are talking more about revision and they seem more confident in knowing what to do to be able to prepare for exams - 5 Stars

Kate was great, she kept our students engaged and was fast paced but focused. Great speaker and good skills! 5 Stars

Day ran very smoothly and accomodated any last minute changes with no issues at all. Jay was a pleasure to work with - 5 Stars

This was a great session, students got a lot out of it. They left feeling confident and supported - 5 Stars

Alan was excellent. He has a great stage presence and engaged the audience. The pupils enjoyed the activities and liked participating. It was nice that Year 7 and 8 focussed on doing one thing (mindmapping) well. Our pupil voice has shown 93% enjoyed the workshops and 85% felt they were able to walk away with 3 golden nuggets - 5 Stars

Students, especially year 11, appear to be more focused and considering the best ways for them to study and revise. Positively You deliver engaging and interactive workshops that our students genuinely enjoy. The sessions are dynamic, full of energy, and designed to keep students actively involved from start to finish. What makes them stand out is the simplicity and effectiveness of the techniques shared - students leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to improve their learning and mindset. These workshops have now had a real impact on motivation and confidence across our school for a number of years and we always look forward to inviting Positively You back into our school.

Kate was very enthusiastic and engaging with our students. She presented very well and was full of energy. Our Year 10 and 11 students responded well to Kate's delivery in the two sessions during the day. This is the third time that we have had 'Positively You' come in to work with our students and we will look to use them again in the future I am sure. Thank you!

Thank you for an engaging, practical and relevant session.  In lessons, students have referred to some of the study techniques which Alan explained - 5 Stars

We were delighted to welcome Kim from Positively You to Shiplake College for our recent Revision Day. Kim delivered an outstanding suite of revision talks to pupils across all year groups, and the impact was immediate and inspiring. Her sessions were engaging, practical, and full of energy, equipping students with proven strategies to boost confidence and maximise their exam preparation. Kim’s ability to connect with pupils of different ages and learning styles was exceptional. She created a positive, motivating atmosphere that encouraged students to take ownership of their revision and believe in their potential. Feedback from both staff and pupils has been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on how useful and enjoyable the sessions were. We highly recommend Positively You for any school looking to empower students with effective revision techniques and a mindset for success. Thank you, Kim, for making our Revision Day such a valuable and memorable experience!

Katie was just fabulous! - 5 Stars

We recently host the Positively You workshop on Study Skills, and we were genuinely impressed by the quality and impact of the session. The workshop was engaging, insightful, and incredibly practical. It offered a fresh perspective on how to approach studying more effectively, with strategies that are both easy to implement and highly motivating. Natalie created a supportive and energetic environment that made learning enjoyable and interactive. The students left the session feeling more confident, focused, and equipped with tools to enhance my academic performance. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to boost their study habits and mindset. Thank you for such an inspiring experience!

This session was very useful to help year 10 begin to think about the wide variety of study skills and what will work best for them. Parents also shared some positive feedback on how nice it was to be involved in their children's studies and revision. Most Year 10 students took away useful and practical tips for revision for both their upcoming mocks and their real GCSE exams.

Alan is so engaging and inspires the students to see how the brain works to revise best. He delivers the workshops with such lovely humour it helps the students and staff to feel relaxed and listen. Staff absolutely love attending the workshops with the students to gain inspiration themselves. - 5 stars

Kate was extremely engaging and personable - 5 Stars

We had the pleasure of experiencing a 'Positively You' session, and I can confidently say it was nothing short of transformative. From the moment we began, the students felt an overwhelming sense of support, understanding, and genuine care. The guidance provided was both empowering and inspiring, and the students walked away feeling lighter, more positive, and ready to embrace new challenges with a fresh mindset. If you're looking for a truly uplifting experience that will leave you feeling motivated and cantered, I highly recommend the 'Positively You' session! - 5 Stars

The sessions were engaging for the students and it really helped them to learn different ways to support their memory when learning and revising. The way the workshop was delivered was interactive for the students and students who don’t usually contribute, got involved - 5 stars!

Kate was brilliant and engaging, this feedback has come from staff, pupils and parent that attended the session.

Kate was engaging and inspiring to watch with the children. She put them at ease immediately, and kept them focused on the activities and presentation at all times. Student and parent feedback was impressive - one student claimed the study skills workshop was "life-changing". Kate adapted all her messaging to work for the dyslexic and neurodiverse students and had clearly done research before-hand. I thought she was great!

Jay delivered an engaging, beneficial session to our Year 9 cohort. It was exciting for our students and it allowed them to discuss aspects of their learning and revision in a fun, new way. Teachers that were in this session said they found the content really useful and would now use this within their own classrooms. We really enjoyed the session!

We absolutely loved the workshops delivered today! Jay was relatable and very down to earth which the students loved. His delivery was pacey yet really informative and he was able to adapt his style to suit our diverse range of needs and personalities!

Positively You have been a little gem to find in the educational world. The organisation and friendliness of all the staff are fantastic. The presenters are so enthusiastic, and they convey this to the students and the staff. Staff that sat in on the sessions went on to use the ideas in their own classroom as they enjoyed it so much. Students could not wait to have them back in - for Year 11s to say this is something. Thank you so much to you all.

Your workshop truly captivated the students' attention with its high-energy, interactive format, and it was clear to see how much they benefited from your expert guidance. Many of our students commented on how the session helped them not only understand but also adopt more effective study habits that they can immediately put into practice. The techniques you shared have empowered them with practical tools to improve their academic performance, and they left the session feeling motivated and confident in their abilities. The staff also appreciated the way your session aligned with Gatsby Benchmark 4, further enhancing our commitment to providing high-quality, career-oriented education. The positive feedback from both students and staff reflects the high value of the strategies you taught and your engaging delivery style. Several teachers mentioned how they look forward to seeing the long-term impact these study skills will have on our students’ overall learning and academic progress. Thank you again for bringing such a positive, transformative learning experience to our students. We look forward to future opportunities to work together!

The presenters were brilliant! They built great relationships with our students, delivered their sessions with passion and energy and most importantly our students engaged in the process and found the sessions really helpful as they embarked on Year 11.

The Year 10s received a fantastic opportunity to experience a session with Positively You, who are experts in study skills, revision techniques and building exam confidence. The Super Speed Study Skills sessions were a great success with two form groups per session attending a 1-hour interactive workshop. The Year 10s showed great maturity and were really engaged for each session. The organisers and our Headteacher reported that the Year 10s were really impressive. The session was organised at a really good time in the year as the Year 10s will be able to put their new skills into practice along side our Marriotts 4-step revision process in time for the upcoming mock exam window.

Really good workshop. Very informative. Strategies and techniques explained well and clearly. Students reported they enjoyed the session and got a lot of useful information to takeaway. The 'you pad' booklets were great for them to take! Loved the student participation and discussion tasks.

Thank you so much to Dave for a brilliant Study Skills workshop. I have had fantastic feedback from staff, students and parents so thank you very much for delivering the session to our Year 10 pupils.

An excellent interactive session with Jay. His charisma and personality was perfect for our learners. They learned some invaluable memory techniques and revision strategies in a very short space of time. Highly recommended.

Positively You were amazing in providing a fun and engaging study skills session to our Year 11s. They made revising fun! Booking was easy and simple and I felt comfortable in communicating with them regularly to ask questions about the day and session. Our presenter, Gareth, was also very professional and personable and help our students to see different techniques to revising.

Our second year of having Kate visit. She was fab. Relates well to the students and gives all the right messages we want to give. Given the school's journey, the workshops fit in well and Kate uses her knowledge of us to add to it.

The workshops were very engaging and pupils really enjoyed the practical tips, thank you! - 5 Stars

Everything about the day was super. Alan was personable and, despite a sore throat, delivered the material with energy and enthusiasm. He engaged with the pupils brilliantly and they all got a huge amount out of the day. Many of the pupils have commented to me about how valuable they thought the day was. Thank you.

Jay was, as always, very engaging with students and a pleasure to have with us in the school. Students have all mentioned how beneficial this workshop was prior to their mock exams that are approaching fast in the next few weeks. Great presence and quality information delivered to students.

Gareth came in and delivered workshops to Year 10 and Year 11 students. He was engaging, interesting and the students responded positively to his enthusiastic approach. I would highly recommend Positively You.

A really good session. We will be asking the students to put into practice what they were taught over the coming weeks and I am sure it will give them inspiration for their revision.

Matt was excellent! Great presenting, very engaging, students have been singing his praises all week. One student has been telling others in assembly about the story technique, so a win is a win!

Great sessions to engage our Key Stage 4 students from Positively You. A lot to take away and put into practice - 5 stars!

The presenter was really enthusiastic and delivered a great presentation that the students found very informative and useful. The content that was covered was invaluable at this stage of the academic year and where they are with their learning.

The Super Speed Study Skills workshop was engaging, energetic and most importantly, inspiring. The students, and our teachers, witnessed first hand the impact an effective study strategy can have on their memory and how it can raise student attainment. I look forward to working with Positively You in the future.

Gareth was fantastic - his energy was infectious and he engaged all of the students (and form tutors) with the various revision activities. The variety of ideas was valuable, as well as the key message that all students are different and need to find their own 'key'. In our feedback, students have all cited the Super Speed Study Skills session as their favourite part of our revision day. We would definitely recommend this session to other schools.

The presenter was excellent and teachers that were present all commented on this. Kim got the students engaged and involved. The workshops all received positive comments.

Kim and Aimee delivered a set of workshops to support our students with exam preparation. The sessions were engaging and students really enjoyed them!

Excellent energy from Kim who engaged the students well. Some great techniques to support their studies and ability to recall key information - 5 stars!

The Super Speed Study Skills workshop led by Jay was engaging, enjoyable and impactful. Students were engaged and thoroughly enjoyed the sessions.

Jay was very engaging; he was able to maintain the focus of 120 students for an hour with his energetic and well-humoured presentation style. The students were very complimentary and agreed that they learnt a great deal.

Natalie was super! Her high energy and affable personality meant that our Year 11s could engage and participate throughout. The tangible "takeaways" were great!

Chelsea was engaging, friendly and interested in the attendees and they responded accordingly. She was very well organised and professional and quickly developed a relationship with the more challenging students and those that most people would miss. I would highly recommend Positively You and Chelsea for these workshops.

It was a really purposeful session, which the students got a lot out of. It has provided them with tools to help them prepare for their upcoming mock exams - 5 stars!

I only saw a small snapshot of Alan’s Year 10 workshop, but I was hugely impressed by his energy, warmth, and charisma. He then handled the Parent Twilight in the evening with aplomb, and all the feedback that we received from them was extremely positive.

A well prepared and informative session, with useful techniques to support and guide young people through year 11.

Rohan absolutely was 5 stars. He engaged and inspired our students. His communication skills were excellent and his approach was thought-provoking and motivating.

We've really enjoyed working with Positively You. They have helped to engage and energise our students with practical and easy to access solutions and tips that they have been able to put into practice immediately. They left feeling confident about the start of their GCSE courses.

Really enjoyed the sessions - staff and pupils had much to take away from it. Jay was excellent in his engagement, both in his delivery and his 'behaviour management/ setting standards'.

The workshop the pupils completed was excellent - the pupils were engaged from the moment they walked into the hall. The pupils commented to staff around the school that they could remember things and they now knew how to revise. Pupils throughout the day were able to recall the information provided when they were having conversations with teachers around the school.

Jay was fantastic in engaging the students with the session, his high energy and enthusiasm ensured that all students took away something from the workshop!

Rohan took our session supported by Jay. This was a fantastic session. Rohan captured the minds of our Year 10s as he is very relatable. It would be great to have the online sessions so that form tutors could continue the conversations with the lead up to mocks end of June. The strategies that were used through the session proved to work with our students. The engagement from the Year 10s was very impressive.

Our Year 10 learners gained a great deal from Gareth's inspiring presentation last week. They learned a variety of memory and study techniques to support their revision ahead of the summer examinations. Big thank you to Gareth from Positively You for being such an enthusiastic and engaging presenter - 5 stars!

We were really fortunate to have Jay with us. He had so much energy, was really engaging. He had a few tough crowds who thanked him at the end of the sessions, he was utterly positive and very quickly built up a superb rapport with pupils and staff alike. Pupils were able to engage because of a friendly, honest, positive, energetic approach that was maintained throughout both days. Pupils gained so much from their experience and it also made staff think differently about their approach to revision and exams. Staff are still talking about it days later. A great big thank you to Jay, a complete professional.

As always, Matt was an outstanding presenter. His humour and expertise helps make the sessions extremely engaging. The students spoke incredibly highly of him, especially some our less motivated students. A brilliant experience that students and staff enjoyed.

These were really enjoyable sessions which fully engaged the students, despite it being virtual and a very early start in the UK! We would be interested in using Positively You again. Definitely 5 stars!

Pupils and staff were buzzing about the techniques they could use. Superb session that pupils have gained so much from. They are already looking forward to the second session and have been emailing me for access to the online hub.

The workshop was very engaging and there was lots of positive feedback from the students. Also, the 'You Pads' were put to good use the next day in a tutoring session.

Positively You inspired our students to take control of their own study and exam preparation. It gave them all a starting point and a clear direction. Both sessions will have a positive impact on our learners.

Year 11 have now received three workshops from Positively You - Super Speed Study Skills, Mind Mapping and Exam Busters. Each workshop built on the last and it was clear to see the impact on the students. Alan got a high level of engagement from the students and it really helped that he reviewed the content of the previous workshops.

The students enjoyed the mind mapping exercise and discovered some excellent tips for revision and the transition from GCSEs to A-Levels. The workshop was well-paced with the right amount of breaks to retain their attention. The presenter was highly energetic and knowledgeable.

Our students took part in the Super Speed Study Skills and Exam Busters workshops. Both sessions were highly engaging and Jay (the presenter) was very charismatic in his delivery. Definitely 5 stars!

Overall, it was a great day. Pupils were left with useful techniques and skills to approach their exams through an engaging, powerful and enjoyable workshop. The resources included were really good. 5 stars!

Our students received the Super Speed Study Skills and Exam Busters workshops. The students enjoyed both of these, with one even reporting "Jay was really helpful, he took the time to have a conversation with me and the tips were really useful." The Parent Twilight was also successful - "I found the evening really helpful, with lots of information and practical advice."

Students loved the interactive nature of this Super Speed Skills workshop and Alan's manner of presentation was very approachable and down to Earth. We would certainly be interested in booking future workshops with Positively You, specifically the Teacher and Parent Twilight sessions.

I just wanted to say how 'Great' Shenaz was today. I have told her myself but wanted to let you know. She was great with the students, and with being flexible due to students having covid tests at different times in the day.

Hosted 3 Positively You presentations (2 hour) in 2019, via funding from UWE. They were very well received by staff and students who then went on to achieve a progress 8 score of +0.9, which put them in the top 1.5% of schools leavers and the school in 94 out of 6,000 schools. Thank you ‘Positively You’ for making this happen for our students."

This ‘Super Study Skills’ event was well received by all our Year 11 pupils and expertly presented by Steve. The pupils finished the day armed with a range of multi-sensory learning techniques which will hopefully make their study time in the future more effective and even enjoyable! Thanks for the ‘memories’ Steve.

Another excellent day with Positively Mad. Shenaz, the course leader, led the year 11 and year 10 students through the ‘Exam Busters’ and ‘Super Speed Study Skills’ courses respectively with her useful infectious enthusiasm and sense of fun as well as including hard hitting facts to encourage students to study effectively to get the right grades for whatever they want to do post 16. The students left armed with a wealth of useful ideas about to learn and revise effectively. We will certainly be looking to book the courses again next year
