“Andy Robertshaw’s enthusiasm for the subject is contagious and each year my students come back inspired, with a concrete understanding of the subject. …. I cannot think of a better way for students to experience World War One”. Institute Notre Dame, Saint Germain-en-Laye, France

All staff were amazed at how he captivated the whole school in assembly (staff included!) and then went from the Reception class to Year 6 with such ease. This is not something many people can do. He was fantastic and I felt my school was very lucky to have met him.”

The Second World War Soldier

Andy engaged and entertained our students with a thought-provoking talk about medicine in the trenches. His presentation was perfect for the Medicine in the First World War unit of the Edexcel GCSE course. He brought a fascinating range of original and replica artefacts and it was wonderful to see out students respond so enthusiastically to Andy’s presentation. We will be asking him back and would not hesitate to recommend him to other schools.
