'Absolutely fantastic! Presentation was the best we've ever seen. Good mixture of issues. Every year group should see this. Students were led away from 'gang culture' and forced to see themselves as individuals with choices. A really - and rarely - positive form period followed. Students remembered, word for word, everything that was said. Highly original and engaging angles. Year 8 have never sat still and engaged for so long' - Kingsbury High School, London NW9
