Maggie spoke at our staff engagement day; to hear her talk about overcoming adversity and aiming for the best in life was incredibly motivational.

Wow! You have left quite a mark on our school. Since your visit with us, your words and you as an individual have become embedded within our narrative and essence. I do not think that it would be unreasonable or too over-dramatic to say that you have been one of the most powerful things to have happened to our school in the 4 years that I have been here, and for that, we are all enormously grateful. | James Everitt, Head Master | Barnham Primary School | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-2.webp
