This year an increasing number of students opted to complete degree level apprenticeships in a diverse range of areas.

For example, Greenpower and a careers week in which I was able to attend workshops with external speakers and organise work experience with an engineering company. Teachers were very supportive and I made some lifelong friendships during my time at the school.”
