“I have been extremely happy with RocketEd. Hannah not only did a thorough EP assessment on my son (which he enjoyed!) she has also written an excellent report and made extremely helpful recommendations. Thank you!”

“My experience has been amazing with RocketEd. They were very responsive and informative. I undertook an EP Assessment and I am so pleased with the outcomes and evidence this has provided. I now have a greater understanding of the challenges my daughter experiences, strategies she has implemented herself and what help could benefit learning to reach her full potential. The report has confirmed and highlighted the failings of her current school and lack of interventions and help being provided.
The knowledge and support going forward is going to help me advocate for my daughter now and in the future. It confirms she is a bright girl who could potentially do better with the right support. I also feel confident in the knowledge, should any further advice be needed in the future, that RocketEd has a comprehensive team of professional support in all areas of education under one roof. Thank you again RocketEd!”

“Hannah carried out an educational assessment on our son and we found her to be sympathetic and knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. She provided us with a thorough report which included recommendations on how to improve our son's educational experiences going forward. We are grateful that we finally have a written report detailing the problems that we knew our son had all along. We felt listened to and not fobbed off. I would definitely recommend RocketEd if you are the parent of a child who is struggling in school or emotionally and you want to have an assessment done to get to the root cause of any problems.”

“Hannah is very attentive, with great attention to detail and has an amazing ability to connect with the child and get down to the route of the problem, then goes on to provide great, in depth advice on to how to move forward and help child progress.
Hannah has been very easy to reach and responds promptly to any communication. Report was finalised quickly at great depth, providing an insight into all possible options. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for help their child with any educational needs..”

“I wanted to thank RocketEd for the supervision sessions with an external EP that were organised for Learning Support Assistants. In the seven years I've worked at at my school in this role I have never, ever been able to focus on my personal and professional practice in such a way. I found the sessions incredibly beneficial, filled with positivity and care for me as an individual. It was a wonderful experience and I hope it can happen again in future.”

“Sarah was very supportive and encouraging during our sessions. She listened carefully, compassionately and was insightful. I found the experience of supervision to be incredibly positive and affirming. There was no judgment and it felt like a very safe space in which I felt comfortable and confident to talk and work through my thoughts and feelings. The supervision provided a unique space to talk and think and I would recommend this supervision to anyone and everyone.”

“Our son’s school told us they were worried about how he was getting on and suggested we seek professional advice. His assessment with RocketEd helped us and his school work out what the problem was and what we all needed to do to help him. It needed a detailed look and now we understand his needs better. We would recommend the team to anyone needing some help to move forward.”

Parent of a 12 year old
“Hannah’s experience as an Educational Psychologist, coupled with her leadership in schools and in Local Authorities gives her a unique overview of the system of SEND provision for young people. It means she can offer rare insights into what works, what could be possible and what might block progress for institutions or individuals, as well as how to unblock it. She is energetic as well as empathetic, and skilled and successful in bringing about change in schools and for individuals.
Hannah is a true champion for children and families with SEND, bringing both realism and hope to each situation. She keeps the young person’s needs at the centre but with awareness of the wider context. She is an excellent communicator, is knowledgeable, professional, well-organised and with bags of emotional and institutional intelligence. She oversaw a transformation in our SEND provision as a school, not just in structures but in the culture. Both the school and countless individuals are in her debt for making it happen.”
Mr Patrick Moriarty, Headteacher at JCoSS (2012-2022)
“Great experience with RocketEd - the whole service was professional yet friendly, the report produced following assessment of my 13 year old was so in-depth and thorough and has proven invaluable for her educational needs going forward. Highly recommend.”

“During the assessment process, Hannah kept us informed throughout. She has excellent experience and knowledge. In the assessment, Hannah worked incredibly well with our son so he remained calm, at ease and happy during the assessment. From start to finish the process went very smoothly, and we were very grateful for Hannah’s help.”

We came away with a full sense of what we could do to support our child. Hannah's expertise and long years of working with children was clear in her approach and building a rapport with our child. Highly recommend RocketEd for expertise, professionalism and clear focused understanding of our child's needs.”

“We used RocketEd for ours son’s dyslexia assessment. It was done quickly and we had the opportunity to meet the assessor before and also have a debrief afterwards to fully explain the very extensive report. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking to get a dyslexia assessment completed!”

“We’re so relieved we asked RocketEd for help and would recommend that any other parents in our position do so too. Our daughter was miserable and struggling at school and even though her teachers were doing everything they could to help her, it wasn’t making a difference and things were getting worse. RocketEd’s assessment identified specific areas of concern and suggested ways to improve them which her school were happy to put in place.
All we can say is ‘wow!’ We’ve seen an improvement and more importantly our daughter is happier and enjoying school more than she has before. Thank you so much to everyone at RocketEd who helped our daughter and us.”

“I am really pleased and relieved that I contacted Rocket Ed. My 12 year old son was really struggling at school and we really didn't know what the problem was.
Hannah was able to set in motion all the necessary steps to liaise with the school and arrange to meet my son at school for his assessments. She arranged a very comprehensive set of tests and provided very detailed reports. My son was at ease throughout and enjoyed the process, which highlights again how well Hannah does her job.
I also really valued Hannah's kindness and help to make time for all the phone calls and a review discussion that would fit around my working schedule. Hannah has such a wealth of experience in this field and her guidance really helped us. The set-up for meetings and all communications with RocketEd was also very efficient and straightforward.
I would happily recommend RocketEd to any parent with similar concerns.”

“I contacted Hannah about a consultancy opportunity on our Young Psychologist Summer Experience, a programme that gives aspiring psychologists aged 15-18 an authentic insight into a career in psychology. Hannah led our Educational Psychology Day, where she delivered interactive presentations, demonstrated simulated consultations and interventions, and took part in a panel Q+A.
Hannah’s wealth of knowledge and experience as an EP is fantastic, but I would also highly recommend her as a speaker or panellist. She was open, engaging and demonstrated a clear passion for supporting our students. I’ll always remember one student rushing to call and tell their mum how Hannah’s session had been “absolutely life changing” in their career journey!
Hannah is a delight and I look forward to working together again in the future.”
Ms Alicia Smith
Senior Programme Manager at InvestIN Education
“We’d recommend RocketEd to any parents needing support to understand what their child struggles with at school. Our child is coming up to secondary transition and we were worried that she wasn’t going to be able to cope. We asked RocketEd to assess our child so we could work out what to do to help her. The assessment gave us clear information to show that an EHCP was needed and we submitted the report as part of our evidence to county. We were delighted and relieved that the EHCP was granted and we’re so reassured that the support our child needs will be in place in the secondary school we chose. We can’t thank RocketEd enough for making such a difference to all our lives. Thank you.”

“We approached RocketEd to assess our autistic child who was having a terrifically hard time with secondary transfer. Hannah was professional, thorough and pragmatic from the get-go, considerate and diplomatic and well aware of the pressures placed on SEN departments at this time.
Hannah built an accurate picture of our child’s complex needs and made recommendations which were both in their best interest and achievable and sustainable from the perspective of the school and us as a family. The school took immediate action and the results were instantaneous. After multiple periods of reduced timetable our child was able to complete the school year full time. Our child needs further support but the report from RocketEd has allowed us to access two further channels of significant support which we believe will help to restore our child to the personally happy school-loving student they were in primary school.
We remain indebted to Hannah and to RocketEd for helping us to navigate what has been one of the most challenging years of our family life. We can see there will be long term impacts on our child’s personal wellbeing and learning potential and would not hesitate to recommend RocketEd to other parents in the same situation.”

“We were so pleased we chose to engage RocketEd to assess our child. Hannah spent time to explain the process, engaged well and gave a detailed report. Her experience from her work at a secondary school helped us to understand what was realistic from a school and we’re now on the journey to support our child. Thanks Hannah.”

“RocketEd provided amazing support to our family as a whole during a time of crisis and stress. Hannah helped us to navigate through difficult periods with the school and arrive at an open and collaborative relationship with them. She was knowledgeable, approachable and considered information from all parties.
Her report was prompt and thorough... the school and ourselves now have a better understanding of our child’s learning barriers, and ideas and strategies that could help reduce anxiety and build resilience in the future.
Through her assessments, she was able to identify and unpick the key issues with our child. In doing so, it has enabled the school to establish strategies which help to effectively support our child’s learning and social communication within an educational setting. We really can’t thank her enough for her huge support and expertise. We feel so much more hopeful for our child’s education journey ahead.”
