Testimonials

Deputy Head Teacher

​Aimee and the team at Dunbar have been approachable, professional, and extremely helpful.  Aimee listened carefully to our staffing needs and was able to provide suitable staff who have made a valuable contribution to our school community and enriched our staff teams.  From the outset it was clear that Aimee and the team understand pupils with additional needs and so were able to match staff who had the relevant skills and knowledge, but more importantly, a willingness to learn and grow.  We are very grateful to Aimee and the team at Dunbar and look forward to working with them in the future. 

School Business Manager

​We have been dealing with Maddie for some years now and the service we have received has been second to none! She's fast to meet our needs, provides excellent service, is always at the end of the phone and recommends quality staff that integrate well with the needs of the school. She has never let us down.

Deputy Head Teacher

​I have always found working with Chloe a positive experience. She has a good understanding of the schools needs and is always professional and supportive. The level of communication is very good.

We are working with a lot of different agencies at the moment. My experience with others is often not as positive as when working with Chloe.

School Business Manager

​From the moment we requested long term supply cover, Kira was on it! She was up to speed with what we were after, keeping us updated at each stage of the process. Within no time supply was booked and appropriate paperwork was received. All in all, a seamless process. Thank you, Kira. 

School Administrator

​I have enjoyed working with Jack since Sept last year.   He deals with enquiries very quickly, and positively – whether that is on the phone or via email. 

We have had a good relationship with a couple of the teachers that Jack has recommended to us, so we’re hoping that we can continue these relationships, and also work with other teachers who Jack can recommend to us, going forward.  Thank you for your support Jack.  Much appreciated.

Lead Cover Supervisor

​Jack has always been helpful when supporting me to fill in any cover/supply needs for Priory Academy. He has always worked hard to place the right person for us and they have all been a good match for the school. Unlike other supply agencies we have never had an issue with the staff that Jack sends and this I am sure is down to the vetting processes used and Jack doing his best to do what is right by our school.

Nothing is ever too much trouble for Jack, he’s always willing to help find solutions to our problems and is contactable by both email and phone which is brilliant as I can contact him during a lesson and know that he’ll get working on my question and come back to me quickly and with a solution.

Chief Financial Officer

​I have been working with George for the past 3 years. George always makes himself available to fulfil our supply needs. His can-do attitude along with his friendly personality and professionalism ensures I continue returning to Dunbar Education as my choice for both daily supply and supply staff for long term positions. George understands the school and our learning processes which helps him to find the right candidates for us. This saves us a lot of time as the need for trial and error is negated as 9 times out of 10 he finds us a candidate that is a perfect fit for our school. I would and already have recommended Dunbar Education to other School Business Managers.

Head of School

​Dunbar are the first supply agency we have used and we are very impressed and pleased with the service they offer at all levels from bookings, supply teaching cover, administration to finance.

George is always extremely helpful and understands our needs and almost without exception he finds us supply teachers and teaching assistants who have fitted into the school very well.

We have been fortunate to have several supply staff now know our setting but all supply staff have understand our school ethos and vision and work positively alongside permanent staff to maintain our high standards of education, safeguarding and wellbeing.

​We have used Dunbar occasionally for a couple of years; however more recently we have used them far more frequently as the quality of teachers from there have been very impressive.

George came to visit the school and had a meeting with our HT, he was very thorough with what services they can offer with both teachers and TA's and up to now he has kept to his word giving excellent support through regular emails, calls and communicating with us to ensure we are receiving the best service form Dunbar. 

We hope to continue to use Dunbar and thank them all for their support.

Business Manager

​You're amazing and so incredibly efficient.  Every time I phone you, you are able to book me a supply there and then because you know what is going on with teaching and support staff or occasionally, you go off, sort it and get back to me usually within 20 mins.  I have to say, George it is because of you that I use your company as much as we do.
