'After a few years of teaching in the same school, I decided that a change was necessary and I was ready to move on. Scrolling through TES adverts every day didn't really help with trying to choose a school where I would fit in and be able to progress, therefore it was really useful to work with Academic Appointments who know the schools a bit more personally and can offer some great advice'

'I have had an excellent experience dealing with Lauren, who has been very pro-active in seeking employment for me. She has kept me informed and this has helped me secure a good position, within a good school. Lauren has been able to match my skills with a post that is ideal for me. Thank you so much for your support, Lauren. I would definitely recommend Academic Appointments'
"Following our phone conversation of this afternoon I'd like to, again, thank you and the whole team at Academic Appointments for the excellent representation you have given me and all the bookings over the last few years. I remember that assignments started immediately on signing up with you in February 2014 and proceeded almost continuously, so much so that other supply agencies were very lucky if they got hold of me in time; Academic Appointments were very quick on the draw in the mornings! They have provided by far the most bookings over my time in supply teaching."
'I would recommend Academic Appointments, particularly Lauren, to anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of filling in painstaking application forms for roles they think they might like. Lauren cut this part out when she found me my perfect role and by using my CV arranged an interview! I am over-joyed to be starting at a new exciting school in a role that is ideal for me. This is all from one simple phone call and exemplary work from Lauren. My experience with Academic Appointments has been fantastic.'
'You are always there when I need you'
‘Of all the agencies we have worked with, I know Academic Appointments would go the extra mile to find the right candidate. They also understand our school and the type of staff we look for which is invaluable’
'When I have needed any supply Liz has always been very reliable and has always kept me in informed of the progress'
'I would like to express my thanks to all of you in the Academic Appointments Primary Team. Over the last 4 years, you have provided me with some wonderful teaching placements where I could gain experience of teaching across all Primary School ages; I will start my new post with confidence. You have looked after me and taken an interest in my professional development. It almost feels that I am leaving the Academic Appointments family'
'I would just like to say a big thank you to Clare and her team for their help over the last few months. They have gone above and beyond to support me finding a role suitable for my expertise. I appreciate your guidance and support'
'We use Academic Appointments exclusively. They meet our needs 99% of the time. Their staff are always polite and helpful, particularly Olive. They know which of their staff work well in a PRU, it isn’t for everybody, and respond to the feedback we offer. Best of all, they don’t bombard us with phone calls and emails offering fantastic deals'
'I just wanted to write and say thank you to yourself and everyone at Academic Appointments for the help and support given over the last couple of years. I have always had work, I have always had the opportunity to work flexibly and the support given in helping me find a permanent role has been excellent. Thank you'
'I wholeheartedly recommend Clare as a caring and enthusiastic recruitment consultant who has the interest of her clients at heart. I had the pleasure of working directly with Clare both during my time as a supply teacher and now as a Principal of Academy where I contact Clare when I require supply teachers for my own academy.
Before my first meeting with Clare, I was unsure about what to expect but she immediately reassured me and made me feel at ease. With Clare's support and guidance, I started to work as a supply teacher the following week. Clare took the time to get to know each of her clients and through doing this Clare was able to recognise that ideally, I wanted a longer term position and within a week Clare had secured me an interview for such a position. I then went on to become a permanent teacher and then a Headteacher within a few years.
I have used Clare's services for a number of years to provide my school with good quality supply teachers. Clare is always interested in my feedback on the teachers that she has supplied me with. She has a great worth ethic, always striving to do the best she can for her clients and is extremely approachable and friendly'
'As a school, we have worked closely alongside Clare for many years. The much-appreciated service that has been provided by Clare has been both consistent and excellent; she is interested in getting to know the school's individual needs, it's ethos, work ethic and expectations, ensuring that our needs are met appropriately and efficiently. We have always been completely satisfied with the service, which often goes over and above the provision of other consultants that we have worked with'
'I was reluctant to work through an agency at first, however, Academic Appointments were hugely considerate of my preferences and approached me with a position that they thought would suit me. The position couldn't have better matched what I was looking for and the support I received in the process of applying was lovely and much appreciated!'
'I would like to record my thanks for all your support whilst tutoring this particular student. You have been extremely perceptive, offering many useful strategies and ideas. Thank you too for being so understanding, as I no longer have the time or energy to tutor this student, following a change in my circumstances. Hopefully, she will commit to tutoring again and will settle down to learning with a positive and cooperative attitude.
Thank you again for all the skills and insight you bring to your job; you certainly do not have an easy task, when having to liaise with so many different people throughout the day!'
'I would like to thank you for all the support given by you and all the staff from Academic Appointments, especially Lauren, on all my assignments and roles. I have fully enjoyed working for your company and I have felt like I was appreciated, respected and valued as an employee of your agency. Thank you again for all the roles offered to me over the years, I have gained so much experience and this has contributed to the role I have recently been accepted for'
'I would say that my experience with you has been amazing. Very easy. Your communication has set my mind at ease throughout, and the process has been smooth. I would highly recommend anyone using Academic Appointment and especially you. Thanks for all your help'
'Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the fast and efficient service of all staff at Academic Appointments, I registered with you on a Friday and received my first work assignment on the Monday, really impressed and I will definitely be recommending you as an agency to join. Thank you so much'
'May I say a huge “Thank-you” for your help and support at our Christmas Fayre, we received a number of thanks and appreciation from the local community for the opportunity to come into school, catch up and chat. Thank you once again from the staff and children at Toll Bar Primary School'
'For all of those retired Senior Leaders out there, who have served their time and earned their stripes by delivering daily strategies that enhance and improve teaching and learning in schools at every level, Academic Appointments is a way forward if, like myself, you still feel you have much to contribute to a much-loved profession.
This organisation is extremely well organised, taking care of the details for you such as renewing DBS checks & advising how to pay tax again having once retired. They also market your skills in a highly professional manner and do the hard part of finding clients who need our skills. However, it is the personal, human approach that is so refreshing to work with. This organisation values what we at the Leadership “chalk face “ can offer at this level and they do so with honesty, integrity and a smile.
I cannot recommend Academic Appointments highly enough'
'I was really impressed with how academic appointments seemed genuinely interested in what I wanted. I really felt they understood what I was looking for and were keen to find the right fit for me. They were incredibly personable and efficient. I am really pleased with the outcome of our brief time together and would happily recommend them to anyone'
'I found the staff at Academic Appointments to be friendly, caring and keen to match me with a school that suited my needs. I was impressed with the speed in which they contacted me from the very beginning until I secured my NQT position through them. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking their first position'
'I'm really pleased to write a testimonial for Academic Appointments because they have been so professional and pleasant to deal with. The registration process was easy and all queries were answered every time in a prompt and friendly way. I'm looking forward to working with them in the future'
'The only agency I call upon; they know exactly who to place with us'
'I'm always extremely happy with the service provided. They do an excellent job of matching the right candidate to the right role'
'I work with Academic Appointments rather than other agencies because of the personalised service. I know that my school's particular needs are considered and that I am listened to when we need support. They are supportive, engaging, reliable and stand out because of the personalised service. That means a lot to us'
'Over the past 5 years Academic Appointments have been an excellent agency in providing suitably experienced and qualified staff for teaching and support staff supply positions'
'I can't speak highly enough of Academic Appointments, I really believe the company sets the bench mark in the industry with its high levels of integrity and sincerity. It's a real pleasure to work with the company and I can't commend them highly enough'
'Academic Appointments have very generously supported the ‘Bramley Olympics’ primary school event for the last two years. This is an annual event which is run by staff and students from Leeds West Academy for the local cluster of Bramley Primary Schools. Their sponsorship has been very much appreciated and the funding they have provided has further enhanced the event for all the children. This has been through the provision of certificates for all participants, funding medals for the winning athletes, sponsoring a ‘sportsmanship’ award and providing t-shirts for the sports leaders. In addition to their financial support, they have also been practically involved on the day itself. Staff members from their office have given up their time to support the running of various activities. They stuck to their task with great dedication, showed good humour and most importantly always had a smile on their face to encourage the children! I have always found the team at Academic Appointments to be very professional, easily approachable, accommodating and eager to deliver a first class service. I look forward to working with them again in the future!'
