'You said'
Post 16 Transition
I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you for everything you have done for my two boys over the last few years, you have helped X with attending Plumpton and supporting him with his career choices, having a child with SEN can be a challenge but you have made the process of transitioning to post 16 education so much easier .
X has a love of science and maths you have gone above and beyond to try and accommodate him and encourage his learning journey
Work experience 2025
I wanted to write and thank you for the fantastic support and guidance we received in helping to find work experience placements for both my daughters.
I had contacted quite a few establishments with no success in getting a place, and contacted Mrs Rooney by email on the weekend to share my concerns.
She responded the same afternoon, with an encouraging email- and took time out of her own free time to make several phone calls to local establishments that suited what my daughters were keen to work in.
Her efforts and determination to help them was fantastic and am very grateful for her support. They have both got a place, which they’re really looking forward to.

Message from Seaford Head Sixth Form
Your students are all so lovely, it has been a privilege to have them here.
Thank you for responding to the update and being so involved with your students – it is always a good sign
Work experience 2024
I would just like to pass on our gratitude for your part in arranging such a wonderful work experience place for X in May 2024. We were initially subdued after a few rejections and on the verge of giving up finding a solicitors for X but your perseverance found a way - we wouldn’t have been able to find the ideal place without your help!
His week at Barwells Solicitors in Eastbourne was ideal as being a Solicitor has been his ambition for many years. His week here has been so varied as to cover all areas under the Solicitor umbrella - this has enabled X to fully concentrate moving forwards to gain the qualifications needed for his chosen career!
From meeting the receptionist on his first day, who was fully expecting him and knew what the day ahead entailed for him, to all the staff who welcomed him, it was such a positive introduction to the world of work.
Each day set out a different area, such as Family, personal injury, conveyancing, private clients and even a stint at reception! As confidence was built X even had a go at a valuation.
Barwells were open to X working with them again for experience and once hitting the age of 16 perhaps as a summer job.
Fantastic experience and thanks again for all your support in the first place to find this company for him!
College applications
I just wanted to say how very much my husband and I (and X) have appreciated your quick response to my emails and for all your support with X.
She was feeling so very anxious and overwhelmed and you quickly provided us with lots of very helpful information and advice. We have looked at all the information you provided (including the virtual work experience which X is keen to explore) and she is feeling so much better about college and what to do going forward.
We also appreciate you checking in with her at school and making sure she knows she has someone to ask for advice.
At the school I work at we do weekly staff shout outs where we nominate a staff member for going above and beyond and I would definitely be nominating you for a shout out if I could!
Thanks again for everything.
