Mrs Patel, Croydon
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Thank you for the support and encouragement you have provided to our year 11 student, he had a long standing history of non-attendance and troubled social skills. Yet when asked how things were going his answer was "Perfect". He is clearly getting a lot educationally, socially and emotionally from his attendance.
Selsdon High School, Croydon
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"ACE Academy made a notable difference to my son, he is happier and now more settled. The staff worked to locate a foster placement. He is currently at college, studying media, I feel very postive about his future. I am grateful for the work the staff have done"
Mother of a student
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Since our partnership the number of exclusions have decreased and we have not permanently excluded a single pupil in the last academic year. Last year we
got the best GCSE results the school has ever achieved (84% 5 A* - C in all subjects) which is due in part to the contribution that PI's have made. We have found that in general pupils who have been to PI's generally return to school with a more positive and mature approach to their studies"
Thomas More Catholic School, Crovdon
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"During my work experience I learnt that time keeping was very important not only when going to school but also in a working environment. I also learnt about the importance of giving. Working at PJ's Community Services it helped me to realise that even giving the tiniest thing back to a person or even a community
can have a huge impact on them in the long run."
