FORMER SCHOOL: Worle Community School Academy

“This course has given me a fantastic opportunity to understand how the childcare industry works and how I can be a better practitioner.

The classroom spaces have been perfect for learning about childcare and experiencing practical simulations – and the work experience element of the course has been invaluable in preparing me for a career in early years.

Liberty consistently achieved distinctions and, put 100% effort into everything that was thrown at her. She took a mature approach to her studies and staff found her to be a co-operative and productive member of her class.

Whilst at college, Liberty secured several volunteering roles, which in turn, developed her knowledge and understanding; she attended Brownies and was working towards her leadership qualification, volunteered at a SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) unit and was a SENDCAS buddy for North Somerset Council.

"The course has provided some amazing opportunities to explore various activities and experiences off-site within a school classroom setting, which has been invaluable in gaining an insight into what it's like in the real world.

I have found the tutors inspirational; they've helped me enormously when I've come across something that I've struggled with or found difficult, they really take the time to help and give me the confidence to succeed."
