Recently at our Trades provision, young people have been developing a range of practical skills while working towards AQA achievements.
One young person has been learning the fundamentals of bricklaying, including measuring and marking out, mixing mortar, laying bricks evenly and maintaining alignment throughout a build. Alongside this, they have developed patience, accuracy and an understanding of health and safety on site.
Another young person has been working towards entry-level AQAs in carpentry, building confidence using hand and power tools, measuring and cutting materials, and assembling projects with precision.
We've also been creating wildlife habitats, combining woodworking skills with an understanding of conservation and caring for the environment. From planning and measuring to building weather-resistant shelters, it's been fantastic to see practical skills put into action.
A great example of learning through doing, building confidence and developing skills for the future.
