New Mentor

New mentor, Daniel Goodwin of Pearson Whiffin Recruitment commented:

“I just wanted to say thank you to Liz and Beth for our mentor training at Strood Academy.  I also want to thank the amazing students who took us on a tour of the school and showed us why they are so proud to attend a great school.  The training was informative, well thought out and relaxed enough to put everyone at ease and ensure that as a group or mentors we are ready and looking forward to working with the students in November.  Thank you! “
