What Schools Say
GASP gives the students a realisation that they are able to achieve. Often, this is the first time students have had this experience.
We would definitely choose GASP again — it has been a very positive experience for the students who have attended, and they have benefited from some excellent teaching.
The GASP course gives students a real focus and something to learn that can lead to a future career. All of the students are very motivated and get excited with each new project.
The [GASP] staff are brilliant and so knowledgeable and really empower and enable our learners.
Being a very small SEMH school, funding is imperative; without this our pupils would not be able to access the provision and opportunities at GASP. Thank you!
GASP is an incredible resource. The staff are friendly and encouraging: it is the best provision of its kind in the county.
