Hyett Education -

Not enough positive words to describe how impressed we were with Hyett Education. Antony Hyett made the booking process seamless and transparent. He arrived early and set himself up within our space. We had decided on the STEMbotics workshop for Years 5 to 7 and the response from the pupils and staff alike were all consistent in their positivity.

Antony's time-management skills were what made the day feel like such a breeze. He stayed on time within each session and was very clear with the instructions he gave the children.
I witnessed some of my own pupils come to life in this workshop, leading their small group as they built a unique robot and coded its progress through map of our Solar System.

Nothing but praise and I would highly recommend Hyett Education to anyone looking for a simple and straightforward workshop on anything technology.

I am a primary school teacher and this is the second time my school has booked in Hyett Education. Last year, we arranged to take part in the Lego Coding workshops which were such a huge success that there was no doubt I wanted Antony to return to our school.
This year, we arranged to have a writing through Minecraft workshop and a STEM Carousal. Both sessions were absolutely adored by ALL our pupils. We have obtained lots of writing opportunities through the Minecraft sessions which were incredibly fun and engaging for the children. The STEM carousal was adapted for our KS1 pupils and gave them an opportunity to carry out a range of different activities across the day.
Throughout the process, Antony has been incredibly easy to communicate with and has been very adaptable at short notice. He has an excellent presence within the classroom and clearly pitches his sessions to the different age groups well. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody and would gladly book him in for future sessions.

What an amazing Computer Science Week we have had here at Plumcroft Primary School this year, thanks to Hyett Education. As Computing Lead at the school, I got a chance to talk to pupils and teachers after the computing workshops. The feedback from the pupils and the teachers has been overwhelmingly positive due to Jack's positive, engaging and enthusiastic teaching / delivery style. The pupils have learned to build, code and program drones, rovers and other machines. Some words the pupils have used to describe their experience on their post workshop feedback sheet - amazing, exciting, fun, cool, amazing, entertaining and educational.
Some Feedback from Y3 children from their Lego WeDo workshop:
“The workshops were fantastic, fun and outstanding.”
“We learned how to build something, code and using an algorithm”
“Amazing, Fun and Incredible. I learnt how to code Lego and follow instructions. It has definitely inspired me to do more coding at home!”
The staff and I echo the pupils' sentiments and want to pass on our Kudos to Jack and Hyett Education for a well-delivered week of hands-on, practical physical computing workshops.

Wow, what an amazing experience we had with Antony! Communicating and organising the day with Antony was easy and hassle free. Communication was clear and the expectations of the day was set to a high standard. Antony arrived early on the day to set up and was flexible with meeting the needs of the space in our school and the children's needs. Antony started our morning off with a circuits workshop, which really supported our topic of Inventors and then finished the day off with teaching the children about coding and robots. It's really heightened the children's experience of the topic and they have not stopped talking about it since!

We welcomed Hyett Education at our school in Longsight, Manchester.
Great workshop. Length of workshop can be adapted to suit the needs of the class and the requirements of the teacher. All teaching is according to the national curriculum PoS for computing. Very hands on, children get a first hand experience of programming, how algorithms work and how computing can be used to control and manipulate the working of devices.
Definitely recommend, in fact we were so impressed that our school has booked in for a whole unit to be taught through an expert who used to be a teacher, so that helps in terms of class management etc. Very pleased.

I really enjoyed Hyett Education delivering the drones workshop for our programme with Edu-Cater Global! The trainer Jack was really enthusiastic and the students loved him!

I have requested him to come back to support next session. Antony was great at organising this with me too.

Our Year 4 pupils experienced a fabulous day with Antony as part of their Design Technology Project! They used Lego WeDo 2 kits to build and program robots incorporating levers and pulleys. Because the session was well resourced, all children were able to focus on building their own model with a partner. It was engaging, exciting and Antony was a fabulous teacher! Thanks for a fabulous day!

We had brilliant coding workshop run by Hyett Education. The children loved it; they were engaged the entire way through. It was accessible for all abilities with a good level of challenge. We will definitely be using them again!
