Please do check out some of our students excellent examples of work on the subject pages. This is just a sample of the wonderful effort, and subsequent progress, our students are making.

We are proud to share that, this week, the students named below have been recognised for their outstanding commitment and efforts with their online learning: These individuals have received a certificate of scholarship (that awards each student 3 merits), congratulation emails and a text message home from Mrs Lindars, Head of College.

Airy Student of the Week

Despite the challenges presented by remote learning, tutors have been nominating their Airy Student of the week. Students who have consistently demonstrated the LAB values of Ambition, Integrity, Resilience, Scholarship and Respect are celebrated and recognised by our college community.
