Delighted to share this great video showcasing the brilliant work of our S5&S6 Powering Futures teams.

This fantastic course helps build an understanding of sustainability for our young people but also helps them develop meta-skills like communication, analysis and collaboration to help prepare them for the world of work.

Well done to Esma, Mark, Lara, Matej, Abdullah, Maya and Jack who all successfully gained the Level 6 award and delivered excellent presentations to the panel of industry judges!
