School Testimonials

As a school, we have been utilising New Directions for a number of years in order to organise teaching supply cover for both Inset courses and staff sickness. New Directions personnel are particularly helpful in trying to meet our needs and we have always found them extremely efficient and courteous. We have also, as a school, been more than happy with the quality of the supply teachers sent to Hendreforgan in response to our requests.

However, the biggest advantage of using New Directions as our main outlet for supply staff is that they do all the hard work when it comes to finding teachers when the need arises.

Peter Morgan - Hendreforgan Primary School, Rhondda Cynon Taff

Blackwood Comprehensive School has developed a strong working partnership with New Directions to provide supply teachers and invigilators to meet the specific needs of our school. We have always found the Company extremely reliable and honest to work with. The Company has worked closely with us to help us to implement our workforce reform agenda, including providing a complete ‘package’ of examination invigilation supervisors who work under the direction of our Examinations Officer.

We are also very grateful for the generous support that New Directions has given the school for our Prizegiving and Fund Raising Events. We look forward to developing our Partnership further in the future.

I am happy to commend to colleagues the services New Directions provides. Staff at New Directions fully understand the working environments schools operate in. they are quick to respond to schools’ needs and requests and provide an excellent service in covering the whole range of a school’s staffing requirements. Two particularly excellent features are the very effective on call service and their staff’s willingness to work with schools providing flexible solutions to the challenges schools face.

David Lewis - Trinant Primary School, Caerphilly

Our school has been using New Directions supply agency for the past three years. The teachers and teaching assistants provided are of a consistent high quality. We have also found their administrative staff to be very professional and efficient at all times. I would recommend that fellow colleagues consider utilising their services for both teaching and teaching assistant cover.
