Reviews by our schools/ staff.

 

Everyone needs praise and recognition for a job well done. Here we will post ‘pockets of praise’ which have been passed onto us from our schools or staff, either about Claire’s School Solutions or the staff we send into schools, or the schools themselves. 

 

 

 

 

Thank you to our staff:

I just wanted to personally message and say a big thank you to Jean  who covered in my class yesterday.
She did a fantastic job, left the classroom spotless, marked all books and left great hand over notes. She also left on my whiteboard a list of super listeners for me to see.
Thank you very much,
Victoria 🙂 2025

Charlotte has been to cover our school a few days since the start of the school year and we always get  positive feedback from the staff she works with. Our school started using Little Wondle this school year and it was a great help to the classroom she covered because she knew it well and that was a massive relief to the TA she was working with as the school was still getting to grips with it.

Tilly did an AMAZING job. Thank you so much.

Can we say thank you to Steve, not only is he brilliant and handles the class really well, on Friday in the snow he was one of the first members of staff through the door!

It was lovely to see Ingrid as she covered a placement here last year and was brilliant, she knew exactly what to do with our year 2’s again when she covered here on Thursday.

Georgia has been to our school a few times now and her supply visits have always been so positive. Georgia just settles in and gets on with her cover, the children across all year groups really enjoying having her, as do the staff. Thank you Claire’s and Georgia for making supply cover such an easy process!

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve just been chatting with the Teaching Assistants who are working with Steve Burley today and they could not speak more highly of him. Apparently, the children are responding extremely well to him and the class have had a great day!

Thank you for sending us another great supply teacher 😊

Thank you to our schools:

Denby Free is such a lovely little school. In the collective worship they had on Tuesday the kids were saying some incredibly adorable things about belonging and feeling loved. The school just has a really lovely feel to it.

“Pennine Way Juniors is one of the nicest schools I’ve been to, I’m having a lovely day – thank you. The head showed me round at the start of the day and it’s very supportive in each class I’ve been in. I’d love to come back. It’s so lovely to visit a school where the staff are all lovely and we can manage the behaviour. Such a positive environment. “

Thank you to Claire's:

The girls are miracle workers! Meeting the girls to regsiter at Claire’s gave me the confidence to do it. It took me to hear someone else talk about the positives and stremgths I could bring back to teaching to plant the seed to know that I can do this!

I enjoy reading the posts and responding!
It’s a wonderful business with such a positive and uplifting outlook!  Great people too!
It’s been lovely to read your posts.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am to you all for allowing me to work with you. You helped support us through a tough time financially and as a family we are just beyond grateful.
My confidence was in the gutter when I signed up with you guys due to what I had been through but doing supply – although I was anxious at times, has just massively increased my confidence and made me realise that one day I do feel able to go back into teaching if I wanted to.
I’ve loved experiencing all the different schools and meeting lots of new people along the way. The schools all speak so highly of you and say they trust you to find decent, reliable people!
Although I’m stepping back from supply and working with you guys for now – I want you to know I will be back at some point when the time is right.

When I first came to you a year and a half ago, I really wasn’t sure what I was going to do as I couldn’t see a way for me to remain in education. Yet, now, I’m officially starting in a school where I can see myself thriving for years to come. Your friendly guidance and support, alongside sending me to lovely schools along the way, has helped me to rebuild my confidence and regain my passion for teaching! I am homestly not sure where I would be today without you! THANK YOU so much! I do/ will always recommend you as the BEST supply agency ever!

It was lovely to meet you today. Thank you so much for helping me to feel at ease and welcome!

Well I’ve been a supply teacher for a few months now (there was a transitional period before leaving my old work where I was doing both) and I have to say I’m really enjoying it! I’m enjoying seeing lots of different ways of doing things, meeting new friendly faces, and getting to teach a lot of foundation subjects in addition to maths and English (which is very reassuring, having a child in the state school system). I’ve loved teaching French! We really do have some excellent local schools with absolutely wonderful students and staff! Being 10 minutes from home most days is a game changer too, I didn’t realise how much the sometimes 1 hour + each way commute was impacting on my mind until I no longer had to do it! I miss the staff and students at my old school but I’m glad I took this scary step into the unknown.
