This week is National Apprenticeship Week (6 to 12 February 2023) and our Trust family of schools are all sharing information about the wide range of exciting opportunities available to our staff and young people through the apprenticeship route.

This week provides the perfect opportunity for the education and skills sector to celebrate the achievements of apprentices around the country and the positive impact they make to our schools, our community, our local businesses, and the wider economy.

We have some outstanding members of staff who qualified via the apprenticeship route, and are now doing a terrific job in our school teams, to benefit all our young people. We also have a number of young people who left school with excellent GCSE and/or A Level grades, and followed the apprentice route for superb career opportunities. 

This week has something for everyone, and across the country people will be sharing stories about their own journeys and experiences, and explaining why apprenticeships provide 'Skills for Life'.
