This week, our Year 9 pupils attended an assembly to learn about an amazing summer school opportunity as part of our celebrations for National Apprenticeship Week!

This free, week-long experience is open to Year 9 and 10 pupils in Staffordshire who have a passion for designing, building, problem-solving, or getting hands-on with tasks. Pupils will explore different engineering fields, develop creativity and teamwork skills, and enjoy breakfast and lunch provided each day.

Ben, Year 10, said: “I really enjoyed my experience at last year’s Engineering Summer Camp with TILG. I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people. We engaged in activities that focused on team building and creativity. The environment was very positive and encouraging. During breaks, there was a variety of fun entertainment, including football, cricket, golf, and chess, offering something for everyone to enjoy.”

The programme takes place at GE Next Engineers HQ in Stafford, with transport provided. Pupils can choose between two sets of dates: 4th–8th August or 11th–15th August 2025. Applications open on Monday 6th January 2025, with a deadline of Friday 28th March 2025.
