Placement supervision meetings for our 16 students currently on placement have been taking place over the last few months and we have loved hearing how our students are getting on as well as supporting them through any challenges they're facing. We thought you might enjoy the photos below of 3 of our students (permission received to share) - Emile and Macie burying their first turtle eggs of the season in Sri Lanka and Nathan at the Network Rail offices in Milton Keynes, quite a contrast! Please do get in touch with Angela Purdham if you'd like to hear more about what any of our students are up to.

Well done everyone on your fantastic achievements 👏
