"Rupert Collins has provided us with excellent ICT support over the last two and a half years. He has worked with staff and pupils and has the knack of making computer phoebes confident while still challenging those at the other end of the spectrum! He explains in English rather than techie speak and his deep knowledge of teaching as well as the latest developments in ICT make him an invaluable part of our team."
Julie Platt, Head Teacher, Edward Heneage Primary, 2010
"The pressure on Head Teacher's to not only cope with an increasing day-to-day work load and to ensure that all pupils have access to the best education possible is becoming impossible. Head's can no longer do this alone and need expert advice and support that is reliable and bespoke to the needs of the school. If you are looking for this kind of support in the field of ICT for learning then I can recommend Rupert Collins. Rupert has in the few weeks that he has been working with the school achieved more than myself and my ICT co-ordinator could have achieved in an entire academic year. We now have equipment that is reliable and fit for purpose and a plan for future purchases. Our planning has been reviewed and resources rationalised to fit the ICT and wider curriculum. We have had our vision of a simple child friendly VLE realised and are preparing for a term of bespoke CPD. Rupert has been tireless in efforts to bring about the changes we have jointly agreed; especially in his negotiations with external groups. I thoroughly recommend his services as very effective and good value for money."

"Rupert Collins carried out work here at Oasis Academy Wintringham for an extended period of time. He helped us with the transition from our old building into a new state of the art 21st Century building.
Rupert worked with some of our most disaffected students in one of our units on his M.A.D. project.
The outcome was a dramatic shift in attitude and motivation for several of those youngsters.
Rupert is enthusiastic, reliable and always delivers that which he says he is going to do.
He is also very flexible about when and how he can deliver.
He has given 110% to everything that he has done for us.
Rupert worked with technophobic staff that were seriously intimidated by the Technology in our new build and dragged them into the 21st Century.
He supported a whole curriculum area that was not getting results to improve the quality of what went on the classroom and helped them to gather electronic resources.
He trained teaching and support staff on the use of Active Expressions and helped us with surveys of student and parent opinions using the devices.
We are anxious to maintain contact with Rupert and utilise his services when resources allow it which I believe is an indictment of our confidence in his abilities and his capacity to deliver."
