trybooking
Trybooking
has been supporting the GSHA and Schools with online event ticketing since
2014.
Why?
We save time and costs by managing school event bookings online be that Open
Days, Speech Days, Concerts, Performances or Fundraisers.
Many schools manage events manually or via platforms that don’t have
functionality to manage events easily.
So
how do we help?
You can set up an online event in 10 mins: manage capacities; collect all
details required to manage the event with ease e.g., dietary or accessibility; seating
plans for concerts and performances; collect names of all guests at an Open Day;
limit tickets per family for speech day and take donations to raise funds for
the school.
We
also have two free mobile apps: scan parents and guest tickets to know exactly
who is in the school, as well as sell tickets on the door.
We
are free to use for all free school events – no restrictions, and for paid
events a very small “pay as you use” fee.
We
are known for our exemplary customer service.
You are welcome to call us and ask questions: 0333 344 3477 or email

Global Action
Global
Action is designed to empower young people with the knowledge, skills and
determination to become Global Citizens, able to effect positive change. Global
Learning has a critical role to play in equipping a generation with the vision
and means to rise to complex challenges that transcend national borders. There
are over 8 billion people in the world today, and more than half are under 30.
That’s the biggest youth generation ever! We believe that engaging young people
in learning about poverty reduction, environmental issues and social justice
can build positive attitudes towards global change.
We do this by delivering outstanding Global Learning programmes that educate and inspire, while equipping students with key life skills such as critical thinking, communication, leadership, teamwork, resilience, determination and grit. We align our programmes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in amazing places such as Borneo, Costa Rica, Greece, India, Morocco, Nepal, Switzerland, Vietnam & Zanzibar. Students also receive the ASDAN Universities Award, highlighted by UCAS for applicants to include in their Personal Statement. This can really help your students stand out from the crowd!

FUTURE STORIES COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE LTD
Grammar School Entrance Test written by Grammar Schools for Grammar Schools
Since
2021, Future Stories Community Enterprise has been developing cutting-edge
selection tests specifically designed to level the playing field for all
children, regardless of background. Our tests reward critical thinking over rote
preparation and make private tutoring less effective.
We
offer robust and secure testing for both 11+ and In-Year admissions, ensuring
consistency and reliability, and have developed online and paper-based options.
We test more than just English and Maths; our assessments are crafted to
explore the wider KS2 curriculum.
We’ve
moved testing away from predictable formats and from reasoning papers that
can’t be accessed by students with great curiosity, but limited access to
practice papers or tutoring. Our papers reward wider cognitive and problem-solving
abilities. Moreover, our tests include a range of options for appraising
students’ creativity.
Our
rationale is clear:
·
We
evaluate how children think, not just what they’ve been taught.
·
We
help you identify true potential, not just what’s been remembered.
·
We
assess for the most important skills, not the most easily measured.
