new pre-16 academy starts
Following discussions with local agencies and Devon County Council, we are delighted to announce that we are launching a new initiative to work with children of secondary school age who are not engaging with mainstream education. Our Academy Lead (Steph Fry) said 'It is a really exciting time to be joining Wings and working on the new Academy. This allows us an opportunity to work with students who would otherwise not be in Education. I am extremely passionate about education and believe it can change lives! I am looking forward to working with more students and through a focus on positive relationships help them to recognise their self-worth, and value as individuals.'
