Celebrating Our ITT Graduates 🎓

At the end of last week, we were delighted to celebrate our teacher training graduates as they completed a year of hard work, dedication and professional growth.

Over the past year, they have become valued members of the Fir Vale Academy community, making a positive impact on students and colleagues alike. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and can't wait to see where their teaching careers take them next and particularly excited for those staying on at Fir Vale 👏

Congratulations and best of luck for the future! 💙
