Testimonials

Kate’s approach is that positive and proactive attitudes by management will often turn a chronic absentee into one that can contribute at higher levels and for longer – in my experience some employees don’t begin to understand the link between their own attendance and overall team performance until they hear what the headmistress has to say.
