At St Helens College & Knowsley Community College we are justifiably proud of the progress our students are making in their T Levels and we are delighted to shout about their successes as we celebrate National .

Blending real-world experience and classroom-based learning, T Levels give our students the best of both worlds, providing them with the skills and knowledge that businesses are looking for in potential employees. Whether you're aiming for a job, an apprenticeship or a university degree, T Levels can help you take that next big step.

Our students are certainly making the most of everything T Levels offer…our Health & Social Care achieved a 100% pass rate, our first-ever Animal Management cohort also celebrated a 100% pass rate in their first year, while our Early Years students achieved strong outcomes, with high grades. How is that for commitment? 👏✨

💜 Happy Nursery Practitioner Day!

Today we're celebrating the incredible team at our Town Centre Campus Nursery and the difference they make to children's lives every day.

In this video, Beth and Jess share what they love most about working in early years, from supporting children's development to seeing them reach important milestones and grow in confidence.

Jess is also one of our own success stories, having studied both the FdA Early Years Practice and BA (Hons) Early Years Practice Top-Up at University Centre St Helens while working at the nursery.

A huge thank you to our nursery team, and nursery practitioners everywhere, for your care, dedication and passion. Your work helps give children the very best start in life. ✨

👨‍🍳 From college kitchens to one of the world's most prestigious restaurants!

Former St Helens College Catering student Emily Relf has secured a role as a Commis Chef at the Michelin two-star Ritz Restaurant in London. ⭐

After completing her Level 2 and 3 Catering qualifications and gaining industry experience, Emily is now living her dream career.

"“I am very grateful to the staff at St Helens College who supported me through my course and for
their ongoing advice while progressing my career, I always wanted to be a chef and thanks to my time at the College, I have managed to achieve my dream. Working at the Ritz is that dream come true for me. I love everything about the catering industry, I couldn't wait to get a job in a kitchen and now my ambition is to be a chef de partie and to run my own section. I know with the solid training I completed at St Helens College, I am on track to achieve my goals. I know if I can make it at the Ritz, I can make it anywhere."

Move over Gordon Ramsay... Emily's just getting started! 👏✨

Ever wondered what our Public & Uniformed Services students get up to?

While plenty of work goes on in college, they also spend a lot of time developing teamwork and resilience while taking on fitness challenges outside of the classroom, there's never a dull moment on the course!

We're off to a great start already this year, here we've got:
📍Our Level 3 students' first trip of the year to Victoria Park
🎉 Two students celebrating their birthdays with a Public Services tradition
⚓ A visit to HMS Eaglet, where students attended a careers talk and were put through their paces with the Royal Navy fitness test including a 60kg rope pull, an 80kg bag pull and completing the course whilst wearing a 20kg weighted vest, all within 15 minutes!

These hands-on experiences help students build the fitness, confidence and teamwork skills needed for careers in the uniformed services and beyond.

Mental health matters every day, not just today. 💚

This World Mental Health Day, we’re reminding our students, colleagues and wider community that it’s okay not to be okay, and that you don’t have to face things alone.

Whether it’s starting a conversation, checking in on a friend, or reaching out for support, taking that first step can make a difference.

At St Helens College and Knowsley Community College, our Safeguarding, Mental Health & Wellbeing Team is here to listen and help our students access support when they need it.

If you need support outside college, there is help available:

💚 Samaritans: Call 116 123 (free, 24/7)

💚 Shout: Text SHOUT to 85258 (free, 24/7)

💚 Childline: Call 0800 1111 (free)

💚 NHS 111: For urgent mental health support

🚨 In an emergency, call 999.

You don’t need to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out. A conversation can be a good place to start.

One college, one team, every student. We’re here for you. 💚
