Testimonials
Hi Rob, I just wanted to share A's school report with you! I truly believe that the you and Maz did with A helped him be more open to support at Quay School. Thankyou so much for all your help and patience.
I've learnt how to walk up to someone without putting them off or scaring them, how to work in groups and how to talk to people. I like to work with Rob and Maz and the things I have learnt from them are going to eventually help me get a job.
I like going to work with them and I would like to stay on a bit longer, as I think I can learn more.
Dorset pathways is a lovely calm provision, Rob and Maz really took the time to try and understand as much as possible about our son before he started. Communication is great and they try to accomodate and changes requested. Rob and Maz pesevered in getting to know our son who feels safe and listened to in the calm environment
Our student is really engaging well with the programme offered. He is given time to study and learn new skills with respect to mchanics. We receive a weekly session report that gives us a good understanding of what our student has covered in their session and their level of engagemnet. We have been impressed with the quality of the sessions, support and feedback.
We have developed a very calm and therapeutic way of engaging children and young people with their learning. We have many years of experience ranging from teaching vocational courses in college, to overseeing large cohorts as a Learning Director and teacher in secondary schools in Dorset. Our staff are in place to offer bespoke guidance and support with learning, whilst maintaining a fun and therapeutic setting, allowing children and young people to blossom into young adults with purpose and direction at their own pace.
