In my experience it can sometimes be very hard to motivate teenagers to do their school work. Since my son Paul has been at Bellerbys he has been working 8-10 hours a day and has been having fun doing it. That’s incredible. This is all attributed to the fantastic teachers and staff at Bellerbys and an environment which encourages students to help each other. It’s amazing to see such a change in attitude.
