Teacher Testimonials:  

“The transformation in this young man was unbelievable, he loved sailing and you could see his confidence grow. He would speak when commanding the boat and his body language shifted, he was confident and upright and would make eye contact. As time progressed, he spoke more and his confidence grew. He then started to return to his mainstream lessons at school and spent very little time in the Victory Suite”  

“Students in our school attend after school revision sessions, the average attendance of their year group was 35% for after school revision, the group who attend PSTT was 89%. As a group they got some of the best results in the school and the best SEN results in Portsmouth. They achieved the highest SEN results in our academy trust from all the TKAT schools in the country”  

Testimonials from Will Keyser, our Chief Instuctor:  

“In June, we took nine Year 10s to the Careers Fair and the Seawork Maritime Industry Show. Rachel Dunn pointed us in the direction of it and they were unbelievably helpful. The kids were excellent and spoke to several stands about the industry and regularly asked about apprenticeships. They also learned a lot about the industries involved whilst gathering as many freebies as they could. They were particularly excited by the boats that were moored there that we were able to look around. I think it was a real moment of inspiration for some of them”  

“Sessions with ASY were great fun and it was awesome to see the guys thrive on Duel. For some of them it was a real “look at what I’m doing moment” and I don’t think they get many positive moments like that.”
