School Testimonials

My Account Manager organised a long term sickness supply teacher for us at the start of the academic year. Sonia has now been with us for over a month. She has turned out to be one of the best supply teachers we have ever had.

Cindy Helyn-Jones, Business Manager, St Martins High School

I have used New Directions with my account mananger being the main contact for the past few years, with excellent results. Our requirements are fully understood and dealt with very efficiently to our complete satisfaction, the standard of the staff provided by this agency is excellent and we have not been disappointed. I find they have an excellent team who are able to and do meet our exacting requirements.

Susan Tinn, Supply Co-ordinator, Lakelands Academy

I am currently very happy with the service provided by the Secondary Team. New Directions have been able to help us fill two long term positions, with both candidates being of a high calibre. In addition, I have found New Directions flexible when it comes to charging for specific periods, rather than billing us on a block morning / afternoon basis, which during hard financial times, has been of great benefit. I would certainly recommend them to other schools.

Gareth Davies, Business Manager, St Joseph’s Catholic High School

A quick email just to let you know that we have been happy with the service provided by you through New Directions both with the day to day and longer term cover staff.

Wendy Scott, Supply Co-ordinator, Sir John Talbots High School

Testimonial for Secondary Team – New Directions Education Ltd

We have used New Directions Agency over the last 3 months for short term supply and long term absence cover in Chemistry, Business and History A Level subjects.

I have found my Account Manager to be efficient and incredibly quick to respond to our needs. She seems to know all of her candidates, and their strengths and abilities, well and is able to
recommend suitable teachers based on her knowledge and our needs. Even for difficult to fill A Level subjects such as Maths and Physics, my Account Manager has been able to provide details
of potential candidates who are readily available and suitably experienced.

The teachers we have had to date from New Directions have been of good quality; particularly the long term cover teacher we currently have in History, who has settled well into College life
and is well thought of by students and colleagues alike.

I will be leaving Shrewsbury Sixth Form College at the end of this term, and I look forward to continuing a business relationship with New Directions in my new employment.

Sharon Parks, HR Manager, Shrewsbury Sixth Form College

We have used New Directions for over five years and have very frequent contact with James who provides excellent service and reliability. We also have contact in person as well which is appreciated. Our highlight of working with New Directions is their friendly and reliable service where excellent communication and service is received at all times. I would recommended New Directions to other schools.

Imogen Baker, Headteacher, Blaengwawr Primary

I have worked with New Directions for 3-5 years they are very efficient and friendly. Always try to supply me with the teacher(s) requested. I would recommend them.

Michele Deal, School Support Officer, St Julian`s Primary Newport

New Directions are always at the end of the telephone – day or night if I need staff supply. Their communication is excellent, always following up a request with the candidates name and details.
My highlight of working with New Directions is their reliability and communication. We always feel that we have a personal service from them and would recommend them to other schools. James is always reliable and offers a very personal service. He was particularly helpful to my new secretary when she started.
