Testimonials
Students and teachers who have been involved with the Localbiz Project have given us lots of positive feedback, but don't take our word for it, have a look below at just a few of the comments we have received.
“The new model for the learning programme means that student/business relationships can be developed further, citizenship issues can be better explored, and we also get the opportunity to participate in a revenue share option. The opportunity to involve the local community in this venture is of particular benefit with a potential for pupils and adults to learn alongside each other to their mutual benefit.” David Milne, Assistant Head Teacher, Salendine Nook High School.
“I had no difficulty getting the students enthused and we all found it extremely easy and enjoyable to do.” Nadine Murphy Business studies teacher, Penistone Grammar School.
“This is an enjoyable project as we are giving back to the community which gives a rewarding feeling.” Tori, a student from Tonbridge Grammar School.
“Such an experience is really educational, and an eye opener about how businesses operate and how advertising within the community works.” Lizzie, a student from Tonbridge Grammar School.
“This project has helped to better my understanding of advertising and retail.” Reem, a student from Tonbridge Grammar School.
“Localbiz is becoming a huge success. We have been watching the students learn how to develop their organisational, communicative and administrative skills to a high level in a short space of time.” Charlotte Lane, Outreach Support Co-ordinator, Tonbridge Grammar School
“The true meaning of community development, suggests sharing, fellowship, interaction and above all participation.
