Exemplary attitude to learning

Singing For Health

Nursing students from the University of Chester have formed three choirs as part of their Creative Health placement. Performances have been well-received at Storyhouse, Holy Trinity Church and local care homes, with the trainee nurses hoping it will encourage others to sing and express themselves to boost mental health.

Students, apprentices and staff at Herefordshire, Ludlow and North Shropshire College are celebrating after Ofsted rated their behaviour and attitudes ‘Outstanding’.

In a glowing report, which awarded the college an overall standard of ‘Good’, inspectors described how learners “value the opportunity to train in well-equipped and safe workshops” and “benefit from a broad and rich curriculum that closely reflects the skills needs of local, regional and national economies”.

The college’s teaching staff are described as “highly qualified industry experts” who “ensure the curriculum is up to date and linked well to industry areas”.
