What others say:

‘It is clear El has a desire to encourage and enhance wider skills in bushcraft as well as enabling pupils to engage and challenge themselves in tasks. She is an attribute to Embers as she is able to provide a fantastic curriculum that is designed specifically to our pupils, but also has high expectations of behaviour. Our pupils are always engaged and challenged and have gained so many different life skills and are inspired to try new things. It is a massive confidence boost and something our pupils look forward to each week.’

“I listened way more at Embers than I used to at school because I realised that I had to learn about safety before using the fires and knives. I also learned lots about wildlife."
