St. Marys Catholic Primary Schools' View on the New Directions Service
"Laura first became known to me several years ago when she worked as a supply teacher in the school. During this period she covered many classes and was well liked and respected by pupils and staff alike.
Since she transferred to her current positions in 2009 I have dealt with Laura on an almost weekly basis as the New Directions, Account Manager for Carmarthenshire. Whenever I speak to Laura she is friendly, polite and extremely attentive to the needs of the school.
As a former teacher herself she understands the importance of matching the right teacher to the right school and has been consistently successful in ensuring that the most suitable supply teacher has been sent to us. She has secured a number of high quality supply teachers to cover classes throughout the school and is meticulous in checking with us at the end of each supply day to obtain feedback about the staff she has sent to us.
It is a pleasure to work in partnership with Laura and her colleagues in New Directions and I have no hesitation in recommending her to any school looking for an efficient, reliable and discreet service."
"I have known Leon in a work capacity for several years and have always found him to be polite, attentive and extremely helpful.
Since taking up his current position with New Directions I have dealt with him on a regular basis when requesting supply cover for the school. He is always concerned to ensure that the school obtains the most suitable supply teacher for our own particular needs and invariably contacts me at the end of every supply day to obtain feedback and performance of the supply teacher concerned. He can always be relied upon to be professional and discreet.
He has been consistently successful in securing a large number of high quality supply teachers to cover classes throughout the school from Nursery to Year 6.
It is a pleasure to work in partnership with Leon and his colleagues in New Directions and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any school looking for an efficient, reliable and discreet service."
