Educational organization in Leeds

“Lovely environment for children of all ages created and sustained by a great bunch of professionals who are friendly and clearly love working with children.”

“Really happy with the love, care and support given to my son during his time here, and he hugely enjoyed going. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Great friendly, knowledgeable staff who care for the pupils who attend the school, gate is slow at opening and have to get out of car to use the buzzer, large car park”

“It is a very good school recommend it”

“Well organised and strict with COVID-19 regulations.”

“Well-maintained building & nice cafe to meet in on campus.”

“Our little one has enjoyed her time here a lot.”

“Great film school! Small but mighty! The best part about Met is the community: every lecturer is a working industry professional who has great relationships with all their students; non-teaching staff are also super friendly and know everyone's name creating an atmosphere which is very friendly but professional. As a student you will know the majority of your year group and have ample opportunities to network and socialise with other courses and year groups. (MetFilm also has the best parties in Leeds). The kit room is full of great kit available to rent out, although the process could do with streamlining. Modules are fun and very practical: you get your hands on kit a lot in lessons as well as assignments! Great place to study if you're passionate about film and/or acting!”

“Lovely staff taking covid rules well to hand”

“anne i miss you, rest in peace.”

“I studied the GDL here last year and I am currently completing the LPC. The quality of the teaching is overall very good at ULaw, and the tutors are all incredibly helpful and supportive. The building itself is impressive and stands out on Park Row. The campus isn't huge, but has a fairly sizeable library as well as an open space on the top floor which also has computers. The top floor is a great space if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere for studying and socialising. The location of the campus is ideal, being right in the centre of Leeds it is just a 5 minute walk from the train station, and close to many of the city's big law firms. Would certainly recommend to anyone also considering completing their GDL or LPC here.”

“We considered GSAL for our child after feeling let down by our local schools so went to the open day and was very impressed by the pupils and the staff. Our child loved it and that was it. We have been so impressed by their approach to education - not just academically but socially and culturally. Academically, children are challenged and extended to learn more deeply and think differently and teachers support and encourage this. Socially, there is a broad mix of backgrounds and as diverse as you could imagine. Culturally, pupils stand out for a number of reasons; they are polite, they are helpful and they want to learn. Having been in some state schools, that makes the school pretty special, if not unique. Respect for teachers, and each other is part of the fabric, which again these days, can be rare. And unlike some independent schools, entry is based on academic ability, not income. This means standards are kept high, which extends to their bursary scheme which is aimed at giving bright children from ordinary backgrounds the chance to be part of the school. I was at the Parent's evening recently and was struck by the level of insight I received from the teachers; it wasn't casual but constructive, thoughtful and encouraging. It reinforced the pastoral support the school gives, which considerate, caring and freely given when your child needs it, and it's those values which make a difference.”

“Did met the entry requirements to study biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences here. Hopefully, next week I will revive an email with more information regarding my induction week and so on. Can’t wait to get into Mabgate campus.”

“Great food great price will definitely be using again!!”

“I went to this school at my first year of high school and finished it roughly a year ago, so my post might not be up to date. What can I say the school was great. Teachers were always willing to help, even if they didn't teach you. The change of headmaster that happened a few years ago, was without a doubt one of the best things to happen to the school. Many problematic students soon changed their attitude only a few months after he arrived and he held a zero tolerance policy on bullying and the sorts The school tackled bullying constantly, they would place assembly's on which they would tell us who we can speak to, how to report online bullying and so on. Like many many highschools there was a problem we could not avoid... Problematic students... These students would backtalk to teachers, make fun of other students, and constantly misguide any supply (spare ) teacher. The school itself tries to help these students and does place fair rules and consequences, which many worked. Whilst I was at this school I found it hard to fit in and socialise as I liked completely different things that what others liked ( e.g: I would be excited about the JFK files, whilst everyone else was excited about the newest rap song or something, others would listen to songs by Beyonce whilst i listened to songs from ray Charles etc), the teachers would happily listen to you and would happily set up times so that you can socialise with them, if you didn't have anyone to socialise with. Teachers would always help struggling students and would set up sessions to help us through lessons, and would even hire a tutor for us. If you had a problem, a teacher would always help you, if you didn't understand something then they would help you.. Problematic teachers: this is a topic I would not like to touch but feel that I should... Within the five years I was at this school I only ever had two problematic teachers,one was sexist, and highly valued favouritism, isolating those they did not like, and the other, I can not actually remember, you must forgive me, this was a while ago. The school however would deal with these teachers immediately and either suspend or fire them. Parents who are thinking on this school, take it from a former student who got pretty good grades, this school is amazing, and if your child is being punished the there is a justified reason for it. What if my child is handicapped/has learning difficulties, do not worry the school is more than capable of helping your child and would constantly make improvements (install evacuation chairs etc) Revision? Revision is regarded as one of the most important things for year 10s and 11s, and school would constantly set up after school revision sessions for us students. I don't think I can say much else rather than it was a great school and as I have said before, parents who are thinking of sending their child to this school, take it from a former student and don't think twice, the school will not hesitate to help any of your children and will teach them the correct things. 11/10 An amazing place that has easily brought some of my best memories into existence.”

“My son is in Year 11 and I cannot speak too highly of this place from the facilities themselves to the caring staff ; this is a place that makes kids WANT to learn. . I feel very grateful that the UTC exists and will be giving him a strong head start in the post COVID jobs market. I He has been transformed from a blazer and tie wearing schoolboy scared of putting a foot wrong and hating half his subjects at his old school to a confident and self motivated young man. The travel seemed daunting at first but it doesn't bother him at all - he s home most days in the north of Leeds by 4 pm. If your child is on an academic STEM pathway but want practical experience at the same time you won't regret choosing the UTC”

“I went for some important information and I was assisted and all the questions were answered. The service was really good”

“Helen Bailey and the team, thank you so much! I had a colonoscopy here on the 11th of November. And I want to say big thank you to the whole team working on that day and special gratitude to Helen Bailey, my endoscopist. I was scared of the procedure, but Helen and the whole team made me feel so comfortable and at ease, I wasn't in pain, I felt good during and afer the procedure. They were saying kind words, gave me a blanket, constantly were asking me whether I was ok, monitoring my pulse and blood pressure. Helen and the whole team are very professional, caring, kind, and careful. I couldn't have asked for a better treatment.”

“I completed a 4-week course there and loved it! The teachers are VERY GOOD and the classes are educational and interesting.”
