Alan David Pritchard, the creator of the 6S Study Skills System, travelled up to Preston to deliver the 6S Study Skills Course to a group of Year 10 pupils at City of Preston High School.  Combining humour with a dynamic approach, he introduced the students to the Regular Review Process and provided them with a reflective journal at the end of the day.  “I am most impressed with their behaviour, their warmth and the way they stayed on task and focussed throughout the day,” he reports.
