Our Students At Work

Farnborough 6th Form College at Winston

Students from all year groups had the opportunity to visit the Farnborough 6th Form College stand, in the hall, at lunchtime today.  Students were able to collect some literature about the college and discuss with the representative the opportunities available.



Demonstration of Bread Making

This demonstration was after the class had previously all made an adapted yeast based dough. All three students then were chosen to lead part of a lesson. The class were attentive and made notes while watching the demonstration. The successful outcomes were demolished with gratitude and the students received much praise from their peers.
Esme Pesto & Cheese Twist and Berriman and Darley demonstrated Fruit& Mixed Spice Soda Bread.








Young Carers


On Tuesday 31st January parents of our young carer students were invited to Winston for a coffee morning in the Churchill Suite.  This was an opportunity to meet with Mr Ludlow and Mrs Hinchley, our family support workers, and Eileen from Surrey Young Carers to advise them of how we aim to support these students in school and for them to ask any questions they may have.

 The event ran very well with eight students in attendance and around 10 parents. We spoke informally with all the parents about how we aim to support the students in school and strategies we were looking to put in place. Parents made comments such as ‘it’s so lovely to hear there is support for these students.’

 It was very well received by all the parents and students.  Games and refreshments were made available to all which went down very well.

 This was a great success and a fantastic way to start our journey to promote Young Carers at Winston and encourage these students to be proud of the excellent job they do!
