Nurture

This week the spotlight is on the Ethic

of Excellence Blog

Several learners from our Year 8 and 9 Nurture class visited Moto
Services on the M1 to raise funds for Help for Heros. This good deed
was done in return for the money they received as funding from Moto
Services to enable them to build a sensory garden.

Amazing art work from Sophie Devonport (10YN) - exemplary work!
All Year 9 learners were praised by the Nursing Team for their maturity and
attitude shown during their vaccinations this week .

Great work this week from Darton Voice learners which resulted in a
questionnaire to gather the views of all learners on catering at the college.
