What people say?

James Shone is an inspirational speaker reminding teachers and parents of the vital importance of developing the whole child and not simply to focus on academic achievement. Through his unique presentation, James eloquently demonstrates it is not simply excellent grades but strength of character and an ability to persevere that will enable children to flourish in the future.

I really can’t do justice to James’ incredible story nor the muscle of his messages so I’d implore anyone interested to see him. You will almost certainly leave inspired and also perhaps irrevocably changed.
