Abby Atkins | Deputy Headteacher
"Make it! is a fantastic alternative provision. The staff are incredibly skilled at building positive relationships quickly with very vulnerable young people. Each week the students come back to school proudly showing us what they have made. The impact on their self-esteem and resilience is clear to see and they are beginning to use the skills they are learning at Make it! with us at school as well. I can't recommend Make it! enough".
