The book is good but I was frustrated by it being released late which hindered my planning. I truly believe that the process for students to be able to access the books needs to be simplified. It took... See more

Amazing Politics A Level Training

Amazing Politics A Level Training

I really learnt a lot of useful tips which are not only high quality tips but also realistic (which of course is so important in our profession as teachers). Lots of resources shared within the session and useful goodies to take away with us at the end. Thank you!

We have been loyal users of the Rising…

We have been loyal users of the Rising Stars book for the past 10 years, and it has been an invaluable resource for us. However, we are disheartened to learn that the recent changes to the online platform have resulted in the book being viewable only until 2030. This expiration date seems unfair to us, considering the significant investment we made in purchasing the material. We kindly request that you reconsider this decision or provide alternate solutions, such as extending access or offering discounted updates. We greatly value the content of the book and hope to continue benefiting from it for years to come.

Well organised....accurate descriptions.....efficient

The conference was accurately advertised and well organised throughout the day. We had a couple of queries and our emails were quickly answered. The inclusion of the telephone number was useful, so we could let the venue know that we might be late

Dear Joanne,
Thank you for taking the time to complete feedback for our Student Conference. It's great to hear that all went to plan and it was a well organised event. We strive to ensure all of the information we provide for our events is clear and easy to access so great to read that the inclusion of the phone number in case you were running late was of use.
Thanks

it was an interesting and unique conference. I was able to listen to two personal stories ( criminology ) which allowed me to see cases from different perspectives.

Psychology Student Conference

Attended the Psychology Student Conference and the students had a great experience! The atmosphere was lively, featuring insightful talks—particularly enjoyed the discussions on Revision and Accent Bias. Comfortable seating, though some projector adjustments and managing outside noise could enhance the overall experience. Looking forward to future events!

Late change of high profile speakers…

Late change of high profile speakers (which was the major reason for selecting the conference) and only once tickets had been confirmed and were no longer refundable. EWT did not go much beyond A Level specification, Social Media talk interesting, but not much Psychology in it and much was more ‘common sense’ than anything else and rather repetitive. Revision techniques contained some Psychology, but at a pretty basic level, again, nothing new here for our students. 'Accent' talk was excellent and the best of the 4 and the only real ‘enrichment’ session. Shorter sessions with a larger range of topics covered and with more Psychology would have been better. Venue really excellent.

Dear Naomi,
Thank you for completing feedback for our Psychology Student Conference. We were too disappointed that 2 of our original line-up couldn't present for us due to a clash in diaries. I appreciate your thoughts for next year's conference, especially the students' preference for shorter lectures with a sharper focus. It's always valuable to have input from participants to enhance future events.
We hope we can welcome you and your school at a future Hodder Education event soon.
Thanks
James

Experienced speaker with practical advice.

Breakfast was more than just pastries and refreshments throughout the day were good.
Most importantly Jan knew what she was talking about and her knowledge and advice were readily applicable to the classroom. Also she did not let the IT technical failings knock her off course.

Dear Dai,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found our trainer, Jan Hayes, to be knowledgeable and practical in her advice. It's great to know that the breakfast and refreshments provided by the venue added to your overall positive experience.

We appreciate your recognition of Jan's resilience in the face of technical challenges. It's crucial to us that our events remain valuable, even when technology throws a curveball.

We look forward to welcoming you at one of our events in 2024.
Thanks
James

Reading Support

Students enjoy the stories and I find they are engaged. The testing material and half-term tracking in Rocket Phonics is excellent. Some older students working on Supernova and Astros, though mark their books as a completed task and I know they haven't finished.

I still wish the i-pad experience would be easier for the little ones!!

Digital Support are always so prompt in replying and supportive.

Hi Mollie,
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on our A-level Sociology event (November 2023). I'm glad the session delivered by Jannine Jacobs-Roth was useful and had great resources.

I hope we can welcome you to another CPD event with Hodder Education in 2024!

David Redfern made my day

David Redfern made my day, proper proper good lad with a good bit of banter.
Some would call him the ‘King of Banter’.

Hi Harry,

Thanks a ton for your review! Forget tsunamis, volcanoes, and earthquakes; it sounds like we might need a hazard warning for David's banter!

We hope the conference overall was both educational and entertaining for you and your peers.
