You have seen the title on this page: Year 11 GCSE Impact Day – and you are probably thinking what is it? Well, it starts with The Power Hour, our high energy assembly that’s already inspired over 1,000,000 teenagers. It sets the standard for Year 11, not just for the day, but beyond.
We then deliver four focused workshops for Year 11, tackling the areas schools say make the biggest difference. The day continues with a Staff CPD session on standards, expectations, and real insights from Cameron’s work in schools.
Finally, we bring in Year 11 parents and carers, connecting the dots between school and home because what happens beyond the school gates is just as important to student success.

We had the privilege of welcoming Cameron Parker into school, and he absolutely captivated our students. Engaging, warm, and completely relatable, he connected with them instantly. The response was incredible: students flocked to him afterwards, full of energy and admiration. Cameron, you were fantastic, so much so that staff immediately asked: “When can he come back for the other year groups??

Thank you so much for your work at The Earls today. It was great to have you in again and for more of our students to hear your messages. They were buzzing afterwards (as were the staff)! Our aim today was twofold - to give them a reality check and motivational boost in the final run-up to the exams, but also to make them feel invested in, and that we were giving back to them as well as asking them to give us their best for the last few weeks. I really think that your sessions achieved this, they loved hearing your story and I am sure it has got lots of them thinking hard about their final weeks with us.
I have just heard about ****** emotional reaction to your workshop session too... I am thrilled that she had the opportunity to work with you. Life has been very difficult for her, and giving her some more hope and confidence in her own trajectory is such a brilliant outcome. I also really appreciate your positive comments about our students and staff, and will share them with all staff tomorrow at briefing. I know that you see hundreds of schools, and I am so chuffed that you enjoy your time with us. I am looking forward to seeing you back soon, and to planning in some further opportunities for working together!

Cameron has bags of energy and a fantastic way of bringing to life his journey in work and school to help the next generation understand that they have a choice and many chances to control the movement of their lives. I was fortunate enough to be able to have Cameron speak at our Rocking Ur Teens International Men's Day boys conference and he was amazing, he had 170 young men and adults in the room on their feet and discussing their fears but also how they could overcome them.

The energy of Cameron’s delivery and the rhythm of his words are powerful. I partnered with Cameron to deliver a whole day’s training for Year 11 on the science of learning. I wanted something (or someone) to start the day off with a message that would not only motivate students, but also show them we understood their struggle and cared. Cameron’s messaging was perfect and authentic. Great feedback from students!

It was great to see how your session encouraged thoughtful reflection amongst colleagues, supporting the facilitation of our journey together to support our students. As a result, there was an enthusiastic buzz of positive discussion around the building yesterday; I was stopped by numerous staff who had taken a moment to consider how their actions best model the behaviours we want to see in our students, or how they could build a greater culture of motivation and challenge in their classrooms.
