The service that Key Stage has provided to Beaumont College is exemplary. Their representative, Emma Linton, has been incredibly detailed in her search for appropriate staff for us and has sourced high quality professionals that, in some cases, have moved over to become permanent members of our team. Emma visited each site at college so that she was able to provide the right people for the right roles required. Her passion for SEND shines and she is totally person focussed and strives to provide the best service for young disabled people. Emma shares the same values of our college and understands that high quality teachers and learning support are vital in raising expectation and delivering high quality learning experiences to young people with SEND. The service Emma has provided has been professional, targeted, highly appropriate, proactive and responsive.

The supply teachers that we have had are efficient, friendly and reliable. I know that finding supply cover can be a difficult job but Key Stage listen to our needs which are ever-changing and Ed is completely dedicated to finding the best cover he can.

We are very happy working with Key Stage supply agency. Our consultant Ed Belshaw always provides us with a friendly and professionally bespoke support. I really appreciate Ed’s efficient follow-through process of administration from the point of confirming supply to providing us with DBS check details. Oh and then there is the recently introduced electronic authorisation of the staff timesheets which also gives you the cost of how much the invoice will be.

I can only thank you for the service you have provided for St Stephen’s in Burnley over a period of more than five years. The staff at Key Stage are always efficient and polite and “know our school’s requirements”.

I can only thank you for the service you have provided for St Stephen’s in Burnley over a period of more than five years. The staff at Key Stage are always efficient and polite and “know our school’s requirements” i.e. if we have a preference for certain supply teachers, they are considered first to fill any absence. This gives a more personal service, which we do appreciate. We do consider newly qualified teachers and will give feedback if we don’t think that person was appropriate for our school – I hope this feedback is helpful to you. The teachers you send us are all DBS/qualification checked and clearance for new teachers is forwarded promptly.

Following an initial meeting with our consultant, we have not only been sent good quality teachers, but staff that compliment our teaching and behaviour strategy.

We have been working closely with Key Stage for the past 8 months and have been impressed by the consistent standard of the supply teachers. Following an initial meeting with our consultant, we have not only been sent good quality teachers, but staff that compliment our teaching and behaviour strategy. I have been able to phone an on call consultant in the evening, giving our school peace of mind that there will be cover from the beginning of the day.
