Education…

Both staff and students have fed back to me that you were informative and fun at the same time!
KM, St. Hilds, Harltlepool

From the minute Lee started to speak to students in Year 10 they were 100% attentive. An excellent mix of humour, fun and serious guidelines for their future got them interested, listening and actively participating.  A number of days later I asked them to list the key points he made and many could still do so! All the staff who were present also commented on the quality and professionalism of Lee’s presentation. We will certainly be contacting Lee in the future and I would recommend him highly.
JS, Head of Year 10, Allerton High School

Lee’s talk was interactive, thought provoking and funny, everyone tuned in and enjoyed the session and went away with a positive attitude towards the summer school and their future!
AT, Aim Higher Summer Schools, Teesside University

“Lee provided our Year 11 students with entertaining, positive and, possibly most importantly, realistic ideas about how to make the most of their remaining months of study. His memorable key ideas gave our students a real springboard for the demanding time ahead.”
ST, Head of Key Stage 4, Heckmondwike Grammar School

Lee was the final speaker at the culmination of our 2 day 6th Form Conference. Having just returned to school, post exams, from study leave, 350 Year 12 students were thoroughly entertained, inspired and energised to embark on the next stages of their course. Lee adopts exactly the right balance with plenty of  humour and audience interaction, interspersing motivational anecdotes and a strong ‘call to action’ message.
MF, Business Liaison, St. Aidans C of E High School

Students were motivated to go away and look at themselves, having a checklist of things to mentally tick off…and if they do these, they’re well on the way to success. A new perspective for most on success in school.
JW, Aimhigher co-ordinator, Mirfield Free Grammar

A letter from a student after his visit…

Dear Mr Jackson,
I am just writing to express my thanks after your greatly inspirational and useful talk and my school today. Over the past 2 months I have suffered from stress…due to the exams and…I would just like to inform you that what you told my school today has completely worked on me and I am now much happier and satisfied with how everything is at the moment.
Many thanks, [name withheld]

Lee’s motivational talk was very appropriate for the year 11 students at this time in their school life. It was uplifting and made the students set their sights higher. The feedback after the talk from students and staff was very positive.
RS, Aim Higher Progression Mentor, St Peter’s Catholic College, Middlesborough

Lee’s presentation was inspiring and aspirational whilst still managing to be based in reality and offer all children practical advice and strategies. His understanding of how to best engage children – a mix of humour, activity and time for reflection – meant that the children went away energised and confident and crucially understanding why they felt that way. His session dovetailed perfectly with the transition work we had already done about moving onto High School and it was great that the children could hear it in a different way. We all had a great time!
JL – Assistant Head Teacher, Carr Manor Primary School

Lee had a great way of engaging the students with his use of multi-media and interactive moments throughout the session.  Every student took something away with them to act upon.
AM, Batley Girls’ High School

“Miss, I’ve just totally had a light bulb moment, what have I been doing for the last year? I need to sort myself out!” (Quote from a student to their teacher straight after my presentation…)

Give Lee Jackson the chance to inspire or have your kids miss out!
SD, Netherhall Learning Campus

Lee’s Aim Higher session was as entertaining as it was helpful. Pupils took a great deal from it and went out of their way to tell me how much they enjoyed it. I’m going to do some follow up work with the year group based around Lee’s ’9 Phrases’.
RS, Holmfirth High School

We love Lee Jackson’s new book ‘how to be sick at school’ for 14 to 19 year olds. Informative and straight to the point. No fluff!
Claire Young, The Apprentice finalist 2008

Lee Jackson engages the students and above all makes them think they that can, indeed, Aim Higher. Anyone that can do this is certainly worth a visit in my book!
CB, Colne Valley High School

Lee’s presentation had the students more interested and engaged than I’d ever seen them before. The issues he talked about were relevant and interesting to the group, and both they and I thoroughly enjoyed his visit.
LP, Aimhigher Co-ordinator, The Community Science College at Thornhill

Lee is able to do that rare thing in an inner city high school. He is able to challenge, reassure and amuse a potentially reluctant audience. It is through his ability to talk with conviction and with transparent honesty that draws the pupils and staff to listen carefully and reflect on the content and context. He is always well prepared, selects topical themes and takes pride in his delivery, including good use of audio/visual technology.
SF, Headteacher, Carr Manor High School

Thanks to Lee’s dynamism and unique way of working with young people, the students gave excellent feedback and went away with a positive outlook.

Wheelchair Basketball was really fun and a really good experience. I learnt new skills and it was something that I had never done before and would like to do in the future.
FK year 7 (age 12)

I found wheelchair basketball really interesting especially when Andy was playing professional even though he had a disability. It was a really fun, enjoyable experience and I would really like to try it again.
RP year 7 (age 12)

The session that Lee and Andy led was fun, enjoyable and very rewarding for the children. Wheelchair Basketball provides a level playing field for all those participating and with such a diverse group both mentally and physically it enabled a very inclusive environment. Lee and Andy were great with the kids and would highly recommend them and most definitely use their services in the near future.

Lee was entertaining, but more importantly, in just 15 minutes, at 7am in the morning he gave me a nugget of wisdom to remind me how to get more out of my staff and come to think of it my clients, friends and family as well. I have told 6 people already about your pigeon story!
