Previous Summer Stage Feedback

“J was very engaged in talking about the course. No standard yes/no answers, but full chatting. Managed to travel on his own after being shown. He seemed more mature and happier during the week.”

“I personally couldn’t afford to go to other schools, so this was a perfect option for me […] I love musicals and I’ve actually not really been to lots of musicals because we can’t afford it, but seeing a free one is just like a win-win.”

“I've made some great new friends. I've travelled somewhere new and been brave. I learned that my stammer isn't a problem for other people, just something that annoys me.”
