We are really proud that our first ever set of students studying the BTEC Level 1 Construction Course have graduated. The course has been organised and funded by Slough Urban Renewal (SUR) and has been a huge success. Out students were awarded a gift from SUR to celebrate their achievements and had a special lunch.

As part of the course students benefited from several visits into our new Woodside Building whilst it was being constructed. They have also visited the new Wexham Green development during construction and had a hands-on painting day at the Dulux paint studio in Slough.

Ged Humphries, SUR training and skills coordinator, said: “We have watched these pupils grow so much in self-confidence over the last two years, building self-belief and self-discipline. The success has very much been the result of a team effort between the course tutor Peter Scott, the school staff and their high level of commitment and the positive participation from the pupils themselves.”
