"It was a really good weekend with lots of opportunities to meet new people and learn more about the NUT." Shirin Cooper, Rushey Mead Primary

"Hazel Danson's passionately delivered speech on SATs was inspiring. The social element, getting together with other teachers and discussing issues, was useful. Stoke Rochford and the food were amazing." Sam Tallis, Leicester NUT's Young Teacher Organiser

"There were a good range of workshops; I attended Love Music Hate Racism and Work Life Balance and Wellbeing. The key note speakers addressed issues regarding SATs and APP. I personally feel more aware of the NUT's work and future campaigns." Sheetal Kavia, Bridge Junior School

"It was a lively and upbeat weekend with a really friendly vibe. There were lots of activities and speeches on a range of issues, some more relevant to me than others, but definitely something for everyone. And the nights were lots of fun." Phil Irving, Regent College

"I made connections with other teachers and shared issues so I know that I'm not the only one feeling the way I sometimes do. We had a good laugh." Siobhan Hirst, Bridge Junior School
