Client Feedback

Nugent Education Ltd has achieved numerous positive outcomes as a result of their creative and entrepreneurial endeavors. Since the organizations nascent stages in 2004, their youth activities along with children's educational workshops have been employed to engage, educate and develop children and young people in stimulating and inspiring environments. They have meticulously embodied positive and relevant themes and issues, as well as utilising arts as an aid to learning.

Just take a look at a few examples of the terrific response that the organization has received for its creative arts workshops and after school activities (extended schools services provider).

CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS EAST LANCASHIRE

In April 2006 Nugent Education joined forces with Creative Partnerships East Lancashire to create a project that used the arts as a tool to retain subject knowledge in Science. The Project asked the question: -

“Do lower ability Year 7 pupils retain subject knowledge when they learn through Rap? The answer to the question is Yes.”

“The re - tests which the Science Department did with the pupils involved in the project, showed improved results. Pupils in the same group, who had not participated, had not improved their subject knowledge.”

Our Partners

“The rap that the pupils wrote became revision materials for the re – test.”

“Feedback from the pupils has been very positive.” Alison White (May 2006) – Creative Partnerships

We have since worked alongside C.P. East Lancashire on other programs including a highly successful Teacher Training Day on Creative Learning.  

‘TINY STEPS TO PEACE’ : - with ’Children for Peace’, Warrington Peace Centre

During 2006 we teamed up with Children for Peace at Warrington Peace Centre. Nugent Education designed and delivered an interactive play, song and series of workshops, for Key Stage 2 pupils, on the topic of social inclusion. The project was delivered in 26 schools across the North West.

“Nugent Education has proved them-selves to be reliable and very professional. The play was a huge success, fulfilling all objectives and aimed at exactly the right level for the age of the children. This was done on limited resources and the work was carried out to an extremely high standard.
A formal evaluation of the project has shown that:

1. Children’s ability to identify a social exclusion situation had increased by 54%.
2. By the end of the project 92% of children could recognise when a child was being excluded.

Children were quicker in identifying an instance of social exclusion and they were much likely to empathise with the excluded child after participating in the project.” – Kerry Hosken (Jan. 2007)
