    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.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group to act as a credit broker, not 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 are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers 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. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.
