This week has been fantastic! We were delighted to welcome 6th form students in for our Get Into Teaching taster session. It was a great opportunity for them to gain insight into the profession, topped off with a brilliant talk from one of our own apprentice teachers who shared their first-hand experiences.
A really inspiring and engaging day all round!
