Andy and the team at Academics Warrington are a fabulous team. They are super efficient and very professional. The best thing I have found is their ability to match me with my ever changing busy (out of school) commitments. Im really grateful to be aligned with such a supportive team, the schools that they are aligned with are all wonderful too. If you havent registered already, I highly recommend that you do. Caroline

I would continue to highly recommend Academics to Teachers and Support staff who are looking for various roles, flexibility and a decent wage working as supply in schools. For those available, there is always plenty of work in schools within the local area, wider community and other locations. I really appreciate how Andy and Roxy specifically, take extra effort to meet the requirements of the work Ive undertaken in both primary and secondary schools and for their great communication. They truly care about what you need and make sure the job role is what suits you and are most comfortable with

Ive been working with Academics on and off - mainly on - since 2011 (way back when it was Servoca) and have always found them to be professional, caring and supportive. The team look after their teachers and do their best to fit our strength, qualities and needs to the schools available. Ive always had enough work in the areas I want and feel valued by both the schools and the Academics gang. I would have no hesitation if asked to recommend this agency - yes!
