What Do People Say About Us?
Jon Cooper, Headteacher, Mount House School.
I can highly recommend Political Education For Students and their workshops. The “Government For A Day” session was delivered to a group of Year 12s and the students universally praised it. It was thought-provoking, promoted collaboration, and gave them a well pitched understanding of the complexities of the UK political scene. We will definitely be welcoming PEFS back to school in the coming years to deliver more workshops.
Lois Gaffney, Head, Brighton College Kensington Prep School.
Our Year 7 and 8 students loved Political Education For Students' "United Nations For A Day" full day workshop (as evidenced by various student feedback!). We will definitely be introducing more of their workshops; what a fun and engaging way to deliver such important content and to develop vital skills. I am sure the dialogue, negotiating and healthy debate will continue beyond the end of the session.
James Bown, Deputy Head (Academic), St. Helen's School.
Over the Summer term, James ran a series of brilliant Oxbridge Aspirations and Oxbridge Applications workshops that truly inspired our Year 10 and Year 12 girls. His sessions were not only highly engaging and expertly structured, but also deeply empowering - equipping our girls with the confidence needed to explore and pursue places at the UK’s most competitive universities.
James’s student-led approach fostered genuine enthusiasm and ownership, encouraging the girls to think critically about their futures while demystifying the Oxbridge application process. The workshops struck an ideal balance between myth-busting, practical advice, and high-level academic insight - making Oxbridge feel not just attainable, but exciting.
We’d wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to any school looking for smart, thoughtful, and impactful Oxbridge preparation of the highest quality.
Sophie McPhee, Head of PSHE, Queen Mary's Grammar School.
PEFS came to deliver their "Government For A Day" workshop to Year 8, Year 10 and Year 12 students. Each group formed a Cabinet and was responsible for making spending decisions. The session also covered lots more teaching, such as electoral systems and government. I cannot recommend this workshop enough - our pupils were so passionate and engaged throughout, and It has helped cover some of the elements of Citizenship teaching, plus fostered Personal Development. I had decided within a few minutes that I would be inviting PEFS in again next year and I have recommended them to our local PSHE Leads network.
