Students taking part in the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award this year recently completed their expedition in the Yorkshire Dales. Over several days, they navigated challenging routes, camped independently and demonstrated fantastic resilience and teamwork throughout.

This expedition will go towards achieving their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, helping them develop valuable life skills and preparing them for their next steps beyond college.⛺

Start Here. Go Anywhere.

A2 students on our Football Coaching and Development course delivered in partnership with City in the Community, recently celebrated the end of their studies at a special event at Joie Stadium.

The event brought together students from Connell College and Oldham College to mark the completion of the two-year programme and reflect on everything they have achieved.

Throughout the course, students combine classroom learning with coaching placements and represent the college in weekly fixtures against local colleges and teams.

It was a fantastic evening and a fitting way to celebrate their success. We look forward to seeing what they achieve next!

This year's eight PGCE trainee teachers have reached the end of Year 1 of their two-year, part-time teacher training programme.

Alongside postgraduate study, they have balanced home life, work commitments, and teaching practice with real dedication. Throughout the year, they have taught across departments, developing their professional skills and making a meaningful contribution to our students’ learning.

We’re proud of the commitment they’ve shown and look forward to supporting them as they continue their training journey. Ashton Sixth Form College Higher and Adult Education

We were delighted to recognise Ashton Sixth Form's Work Placement Team with a special award celebrating their ongoing commitment to volunteering and work placements. Their dedication helps create meaningful opportunities for students while making a real difference to Willow Wood and the wider community.

We'd also like to thank the students and staff at Tameside and Clarendon Sixth Form College, who have supported us throughout the year with fantastic fundraising and volunteering activities. From enterprise stalls and a fundraising fashion show to helping at our annual Flower Festival, their enthusiasm and hard work have made a lasting impact.

We are proud to work alongside both colleges and look forward to building even stronger partnerships in the future 👏
