What's Been Said ...

" The Skills Academy at GFTS has made a significant difference to young people at Wadebridge School.  The opportunities provided to the students allow them to see a clear next step in their education in a variety of practical areas, often resulting in them returning to the school environment with a real purpose and renewed motivation to engage in school life. 

 

Furthermore, all students have shared positive experiences of working alongside the members of staff at GFTS, who provide a safe learning environment, where all students feel comfortable and supported. "
