Go Afternoon! Success


Pupils have been working hard all term completing their Laser Qualifications at The Furniture Project, Newbury.  Each week seven pupils visited the site where they took part in either Bike Maintenance or Basic Carpentry.
(Instructor Stephen Smith with Joseph, George and Christopher)
Three pupils have been working together to build a range of different furniture to be sold in the visitors shop. Christopher Pearcy said, ‘I want to stay at the Furniture Project working with Stephen. He was really nice and I would like to thank him for helping me.’
(Instructor Paul Black with Brandon, Kallum, Dylan and Aaron)
Many bikes in disrepair are donated to the project. In pairs, pupils have been working under the tuition of Paul Black where they were required to break the bikes down into parts and rebuild to an excellent safety standard. Instructor Paul kindly donated two bikes to The Castle School. Pupil, Kallum Ross said, ‘the course was really good and I now feel confident to work on my BMX at home.’
An excellent terms work boys, well done!
