Our Hospitality and Catering learners are excelling with their talents, creating many dishes per week for our staff and students, and developing their skills more and more each time.

Recently, Persimmon Homes kindly donated our Construction Career Excellence Hub (CEH) students over 6 pallets of bricks to provide them with more opportunities and growth, improving their overall skills and confidence and supporting the next generation of Bricklaying learners.

Weston College are thrilled to announce its exciting new partnership with the Pauline Quirke Academy (PQA) Weston-super-Mare; a collaboration that will offer young aspiring performers, aged 16-18 and beyond, even greater opportunities to develop their skills in musical theatre, film and television, comedy and drama.

WorldSkills is a fantastic competition that aims to improve the skills and development of young people across the world.  

It encourages our students to step outside their comfort zone and go against a range of different people to improve their confidence and ability and be a part of something they may have not previously considered. 

Over Halloween, Puxton Park hosted their annual scare fest to haunt and spook the public. This year’s event, ‘Phobia’, was not only a great opening to the spooky season, but it also allowed students to practice their skills and develop their confidence.

To kick off the new academic year, Animal Management hosted an Employment and Conservation Day where all new students got the chance to meet employers, explore the Puxton Park campus, take part in activities and investigate different prospective career paths.

The day began with a tractor ride around Puxton Park to familiarise the students with campus, where they also explored one of the dairy farms outside of Puxton that they will be involved with later in the year to see how it is run differently to the one onsite.
