As always, we are so grateful to the local businesses who are helping to grow the skills and experience of these students through offering them a work placement or work experience. If there are any other local businesses who would be interested in being involved with our Gateway programme, please don’t hesitate to contact us. As you can see, there are a wide range of interests among our students who take part in Gateway and Primary Industries Science. Finding a supportive environment to further develop these interests and skills in our local community means a great deal to our students.
