Head of Education, Selina Hayes heaped praise on the fantastic work the teachers at the Trust do on a daily basis. Selina said, “Our qualified teachers plan and prepare their lessons to the highest possible standard. So it’s no surprise that we have an exceptionally high pass rate on our BTEC courses. Our Fit2Go programme teaches children basic but important nutrition facts and Primary Stars gets the children engaging in physical activity. The Foundation Degree is an excellent pathway for students who pass their BTEC studies. We also offer a Traineeship which is for 16-24 year olds who are not in education or employment.”
