    Howards Honda Supports Local 'School of Dreams' Workshop

    Howards Honda helped support Worle Community School in Weston-super-Mare participate in the Honda School of Dreams workshop in October.

Howards Honda in Weston-super-Mare helped support Worle Community School participate in the Honda School of Dreams workshop this week (22-23 October 2013). The free two-day workshop acted as a ‘thinking’ exercise for pupils aged 9-13 and was attended by students from years 7,8 and 9 from Worle Community School, and year 6 students from Mead Vale Primary, Locking Primary and St Martin’s Primary Schools.

The workshop was also attended by Philip Hathway, Sales Managers at Howards Honda, said;

“It was a fantastic 2 days, I am sure I got just as much out of it as the pupils.”

The School of Dreams workshop aims to encourage young people establish their passions and goals, and build on their skills in order to fulfil their dreams. Developed by Honda UK and a team of education experts, the scheme is designed to give back to the community and allow students and educators to carry out and change something in the local community. The scheme has been mapped against the National Curriculum to ensure that students get of much out of the programme as possible.

Andrew Donald, Assistant Head Teacher at Worle Community School, who attended the workshop said;

“School of Dreams is an excellent two-day workshop that complements and extends Personal Learning and Thinking Skills and Key Skills in both Secondary and Primary schools. Students enjoyed fun, interactive and multi-sensory learning activities within mixed Key Stage 2 and 3 teams. The core learning of the Honda School of Dreams is to encourage all participants – students and staff – to work towards and try to achieve their dreams ‘by doing’. All resources used, including media clips, PowerPoint presentations and worksheets are then given to staff who can then share and use them in their curriculum at their respective home school.”

At the end of the two-day course, students are asked to share what they’ve learnt and do a presentation on their team projects. A project will then be chosen and a Honda representative will act as a mentor to help make their project happen.

At Howards, we are delighted to support the local community. Philip Hathway, from Howards Honda in Weston-super-Mare, added;

“It is great to support the workshop in our local school. To help children understand they can turn their dreams into reality by learning to use strategies in their early lives will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the local community. We believe children and young adults deserve all the help they can get.”

The School of Dreams programme has been running for the past seven years and around 10,000 students and educators have taken part in the workshop. The workshop aims to encourage students to share their ideas and what they have learnt in the programme and, through this, it is estimated that around 30,000 more students will have benefited from the School of Dreams legacy.

Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Howard Garages (Weston) Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
