You’re in good company

Our ability to bring children, families and schools the support they need relies on the relationships and connections we make. Here’s a sample of the feedback we’ve had from people who have called on Plymouth Learning Partnership’s services.

"I'd like to take the chance to thank the Supply+ team for supporting me through this stage of my career - I have been so much happier being back in schools and I have been able to do that because of the opportunity that Supply+ gave me."

I have greatly enjoyed my year with Supply Plus. For the first half of the year, I worked with schools across Plymouth, honing and developing my teaching skills after training as a teacher during the pandemic. In the second half of the year I had a long-term contract with a Year 4 class. I have truly loved every day of work this year and I am about to start a new chapter of my teaching career with a Year 1 class in London! I couldn’t have done it without you Supply Plus. Thank you for all the training, advice, always being on the end of the phone. You’ve helped me to springboard my career.

The team are always there, available, to provide the support and early help that is essential and required for our families and their children to survive and learn to thrive. Support for staff and colleagues has been invaluable in terms of CPD, professional advice, supervision and the under specific circumstances."

“I think PLP MAST have the balance just right, they emapthise with the challenges schools face and they respond in a timely manner. They support, guide and advise, but are not unrealistic or judgemental. We feel supported and guided in a way no other service can match at present..”

“MAST are amazing. All of the staff are resourceful, compassionate and hardworking.

We are very appreciative for the many years of care, support, professionalism and insight that Plymouth Learning Partnership (PLP) has been able to offer our school. Their expertise in the field of Safety & Health is second to none. From asbestos to zonal fire issues, PLP visiting consultants are extremely knowledgeable and are able to offer advice on a wide range of issues to ensure compliance. Just ask a question and they always have the answers you need! In addition, they are able to offer training across many subject areas, either online or in person, fulfilling all our school CPD needs. PLP are providers of a friendly, professional and valued partnership and I would highly recommend using their services.
