Foundation Studies at Leeds City College

A huge congratulations to our T2 Work Skills students who successfully completed the BEAM Project delivered by KIER Construction!🎉

Throughout the programme, students gained valuable employability skills and industry insight through a range of exciting activities, including a careers carousel with local employers, a site visit to Leeds Town Hall, a CV workshop with Hayes Recruitment, and mock interviews with KIER professionals 👩‍💼👨‍💼

The project concluded with a presentation recognising their achievements, followed by a fantastic tour of Elland Road Stadium.🏟️

We are incredibly proud of the confidence, professionalism, and commitment shown by all. Experiences like these help prepare our students for their future careers and inspire them to aim high. 👏

Our students recently took part in a Health MOT at the Hamara Centre, where they had their blood pressure, height, weight and BMI checked. 😷🩸

This experience linked closely to their health pathway focus this term, providing a valuable opportunity to learn more about the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and how they can positively impact overall wellbeing. 💪

A huge thank you to the team at Hamara Healthy Living Centre for delivering this session and supporting our students in developing their knowledge, understanding and awareness of health and wellbeing. 💜

What an amazing experience for our pan-disability football team at St George’s Park! ⚽ They gave it their all, showed incredible teamwork, and came home with the Fair Play Award 🏆 Everyone at Foundation Studies are so proud of their achievements! 💜

Our students put their creativity and kindness to work by designing our Feel Good Friday board! 💜

Each message was thoughtfully created in Options class to spread encouragement, gratitude, and positivity to staff and fellow students. Sometimes a few kind words can make all the difference. ✨

Our students have recently completed their Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze Award Residential’s at Bramhope Scout and Activity Centre and Nell Bank Outdoor Education Centre and what an amazing experience it was for everyone involved! 🎉

Students took part in a range of exciting activities. At Bramhope, students enjoyed a scavenger hunt around Otley Chevin, pizza making, campfire activities, a low ropes course and archery. 🏹🍕🔥

Meanwhile, students at Nell Bank challenged themselves with an assault course, pond dipping and many other fun outdoor activities that encouraged teamwork, confidence and resilience. 🌿💪

For some students, this was their very first experience staying away from home overnight, making their achievements even more significant. Every student showed resilience, independence, positivity and teamwork throughout the residentials, and we are incredibly proud of everything they accomplished.

Congratulations to all of our students on successfully completing their Bronze Residential’s, you should all be very proud of yourselves! 👏✨

A huge thank you to all the employers who joined us for our Skills Day themed Careers Carousel at Foundation Studies 🙌

Students had the opportunity to meet industry professionals, ask questions, explore career pathways and build confidence towards developing their skills 👷👩‍🍳👨‍🏫

We were proud to welcome employers including First Bus, Kier Construction, NEXT, ASDA and Cox Automotive, who all came together to inspire and support our students throughout the day 🌟

Experiences like these help our learners develop valuable employability skills and make meaningful connections with the world of work 🙏🙌

Students had a fantastic time at Farmer Copley’s Tulip Festival. They really enjoyed picking their own tulips and making the most of the season. It was great to see them all so engaged and happy! 🌷💐☀️

Our students have been getting their hands dirty and enjoyed some time in the garden at the Growing Zone! 🌱🌿☀️

We are so proud of one of our students, Bradley! Well done, what a fantastic achievement!! 🥳⚽️

Congratulations to Bradley, one of our Pan-Disability players who has been asked to play for Leeds United. He is an amazing player and young man and we as a coaching team are so proud of him.

Bradley is a massive Leeds fan so we are so happy he gets to join them.

Bradley will still be a part of our team and attend training when he can.

Good luck, we know you will be an asset to them

Students have been putting their wizarding skills to the test, making ‘Howlers’ in their Harry Potter & the Magic of Science option lesson…science has never sounded this magical! ✨🪄🧙
