As the mixer closes down for a half-term rest, it’s only right that we take the chance to recognise, admire and celebrate the practical skills on show from the young people at Edge Academy and SolidSkills Learning…what a partnership!#vocationaleducation #workrelatedlearning

Year 10 students observed a heart dissection this week - the classic biological practical used to map how the organ's physical anatomy dictates its role as a high-pressure pump #changebeginshere

It was Halloween make up effects for Hair & Beauty groups this week. The first aid team were well and truly tricked by students #changebeginshere #scaryrealistic

Our plumbers-of-the-future were working with pressure reduction valves today. How they work, what they do, where they are used. Then applying the theory to practical scenarios. It’s tool time! 🔧🪛🧰✏️ #workrelatedlearning

In GCSE Food news…I t’s Fibre Week. Students were active experimenting and recording the differences between dried and fresh fruit. A special guest contribution from Matt our Site Manager and School Cook, was a welcome bonus too! #whereeveryonebelongs #connectinglearning

New skills need resilience when they don’t always go right first try. Our KS3 short-stay CONNECT group showed that today on court but worked hard to progress #changebeginshere #characterbuilding
