Our Electrical Installation students recently visited the Shore Group Construction/YMCA project in Wimbledon, gaining valuable insight into a live commercial construction site. From learning about the importance of PPE to seeing electrical hubs and riser installations up close, the visit brought classroom learning to life.

Students were also excited to hear about Shore Group's apprenticeship opportunities, asking plenty of questions about future career pathways. A big thank you to the Shore Group team for providing such an informative and inspiring experience.

BTEC Business students showcased their skills with excellent, well-researched presentations as part of a live brief from REED Recruitment. They designed interview methods, created tailored questions and developed model answers using their own experiences.

Each group explored key topics such as what makes a strong interviewer or interviewee, how to prepare for interviews and best practice techniques - demonstrating confidence, professionalism and real-world understanding throughout.

A former student has completed her Fine Art degree at Kingston University and marked the milestone by inviting the tutor who first helped her walk into the classroom to attend her final degree show. Molly, who began on Level 2 Art and Design before progressing to BTEC Level 3 Art and Design, reflected on how severe anxiety had kept her out of education for several years. In a heartfelt message to tutor Hayley Baker, she shared: “On one of the first days I started college you encouraged me into class and if you hadn’t been there that day I don’t think I’d be finishing my fine art degree this year. I’m extremely grateful.”

A multimedia artist working across textiles, painting, glass, printmaking and digital media, Molly’s creative practice explores themes of care, identity and sensory experience. Attending the degree show, Hayley described the reunion as a powerful reminder of the impact education can have: “Seeing Molly complete her Fine Art degree – from that anxious young person who could barely walk into a classroom to the confident artist standing proudly beside her work today – is something I will never forget. Moments like this remind me why teaching is such a privilege.”
