What’s my future?

We don’t exactly use a crystal ball but as the 2nd year students present their reflections on their progress the staff share their opinions, ideas, instinct and suggestions.
This review, of work produced so far this year, helps both student and staff to identify the student’s strengths as they move into the 3rd year.
We guide and help shape their future and help the individual to realise their dream.

They are ready, by the end of the academic year, to tackle their final year with confidence and passion.
