Dreams being fufilled…

Edi, one of our WorkStart students, has two passions in life; one is Manchester United and the other is fast cars. As he had finished his Ascentis and was in College for an extra day this week, we decided to go for a walk around Uxbridge to see how many fast cars we could see.
As we walked passed GVE, one of the guys could see Edi was excited, so came over and got talking about his favourite cars. The guys in there were exceptional and brought the cars to Edi to look at, they even drove one around and revved the engine for him which made his day. He took photos on his phone to show his friends and his Mum and went home with happy memories and a huge smile.
A dream fulfilled today…

Outcomes for learners are outstanding, teaching, learning and assessment are excellent and the extremely diverse programmes that meet learners’ individual needs, interests and aspirations, prepare them very well for life after College.
