- Parent feedback‘I had an absolutely fantastic time with the group this morning. They were receptive to the activities and gave excellent input to the discussions we had about Higher Education and aspirations. I especially enjoyed hearing about their future goals and think they're an especially bright and aspirational group! Looking forward to working with Northstowe again in the future.’
