IMPROVING LIVES, INSPIRING CHANGE

Student Voice

“They’ve helped me out brilliantly. When I first came here I was (very) shy…and you wouldn’t believe it now…Before I came here I didn’t have any friends, and I was scared to make friends but now I have loads” – Student
 
“You can really see the changes of all the students coming in as you’re working with them week by week…It’s only been a short amount of time and I can can already see such a drastic difference. It’s been a real turning point for me” – Staff
 
“I felt I had completely lost myself, thank you for being the person that actually noticed.” – Student
 
My daughter attended for post 16 at Brian Jackson and I cannot put into words the care, compassion, understanding and dedication the staff have shown in helping what has been a difficult year for her. They not only were in constant contact with me with information and to let me know how she was doing, but they organised and attended meetings with other agencies involved in her care to ensure she got the support she needed. I absolutely cannot recommend Brian Jackson College enough to prospective parents and students.” – Parent
