Double First Limited, now trading as ‘Engage’, was founded in 1987 to address a demand for specialist accounts and administration software for independent fee-paying schools in the UK. It then joined forces with a specialist school ICT provider at the turn of the Century. Working closely in the school environment and with the new owner’s backing, we recognised the need for schools to have a much more holistic approach to how they handled data to broaden understanding and optimise operations. This was the inspiration to launch our single platform, multi-faceted Engage school management information system.

I have been giving talks on mental health to students, staff and parents in schools for the last 9 years. To date I have spoken largely to Yr 10 and above including the 6th form. Year 11 appears to be a favourite year. The talk I deliver is divided between telling my own story, how I over came bipolar disorder and addiction together with a breakdown of practical information regarding the dials of my dashboard of wellbeing. The talk is authentic, honest and offers many practical and common sense solutions to the majority of mental health issues facing not only young people but adults as well. I am happy to speak to staff on Inset Days but also on any other occasion where there is time. Parents benefit from the talk and I have found that this enables further
conversations about mental health at home.

Shelleys the printers was christened 1986 by David Coombs. He had previously worked at the Abbey Press, printers in Sherborne so when it came up for sale, David bought the company to further grow this value heritage which dates back to the early 1900’s. The main focus, even back to those early days was education, since the late 1980’s Shelleys have developed this service to encompass a comprehensive design, print, finishing and mailing provider, single point of contact for all your marketing and administration needs. When Glenn, David’s son joined Shelleys the Printer in 1992 Graphic Design took a leap forward and Glenn’s vision for educational design continues to develop to this day. As our design portfolio grew, so did our print needs and our first 4 colour litho press arrived in 2009 and in 2014 we joined forces with another family business Remous Print, together we believe we have the most complete education-centric company in the UK, operating across 3 sites in Dorset. Our heritage continues to grow, we are client focused more than ever and thanks to our complete in house service, we design with print in mind to give you exactly what you need and when you need it.

We believe that overseas travel is one of the most empowering, life-altering forms of learning possible.
We’re passionate about what we do and have dedicated ourselves to the pursuit of creating unique school trips that educate, enrich and inspire the next generation.
For over 35 years, we’ve enabled transformative travel experiences right around the world. These experiences complement school learning, giving students the opportunity to become true life-learners and global citizens.
It’s the kind of learning that students will carry with them long into the future; learning that can only come from experiencing this amazing planet and the unique cultures that inhabit it.
We give students the opportunity to write their own stories, make their own mistakes, live their own adventures, learn and grow with peers, and see the world with open eyes that are focused on those around them.
We’ve watched as these life-changing experiences have brought out the best in our challengers for many years, since 1987 in fact.
It’s perhaps best brought to life by our 150,000+ alumni that have returned home forever changed, many being inspired to continue the pursuit of positive global citizenship, from advocacy work in foreign nations through to leading world-shaping environmental initiatives.
We offer much more than a trip overseas. That said, it all begins with saying yes to adventure, yes to ignoring comfort zones, yes to embracing the unknown.
A world of possibility awaits!

Following deregulation In April 2017, the largest competitive water retail market in the world opened for business, bringing the biggest change to the water sector since privatisation. This newly formed market means 1.2 million businesses, charities and public sector organisations in England are no longer restricted to buying water services from their regional monopoly. Instead, they can shop around, renegotiate, and find the right deal for them. Put simply, if customers are not satisfied, they can take their business elsewhere. These changes increase competition to help to drive down prices, encourage water efficiency and ultimately lead to improved customer service. We offer tailor made packages to business customers, catering for medium and high usage clients only. We provide unrivalled customer service allocating experienced water architects to every account.
