Featured story
Opening the door for young people: Discovery Schools Academy Trust
Lee Gill brought young people into Discovery's extended services through apprenticeships with Train Together. They gain a substantial qualification, work in the classroom as well, and several have won Apprentice of the Year at the trust's own awards.
“They won that because the head teachers loved them. And that wouldn't have happened without the partnership we had with Train Together.”
