What Schools Say:“Footprints certainly left their mark here at St Mary’s with their quite excellent Jesse Tree Day. In one fell swoop we have covered Christianity in RE for the whole year ... Footprints’ stories were fantastic and the level of involvement superb. The staff and the children were captivated and enjoyed this special off-timetable day.”Niki Monks, St Mary’s CofE Primary School, Edwinstowe

“Thank you for bringing a day of wonder and joy to our school with your around-the-world stories. The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed learning about new cultures. We loved the songs! An excellent day of educational input that engaged the whole school.” Jean Finn, St Joseph’s Primary School, Aylesbury

“It was a pleasure to have your team in school on Monday. Such enthusiam and energy!!! - How do they sustain it over so many sessions? All the children and staff had a thoroughly enjoyable session in the tents. The experience inspired the children with follow up writing and also story writing of their own. I would recommend this as a “must do” to any school. Well done and THANK YOU. ”Linda Griffiths, Kettering Park Infant School, Kettering
