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.

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!
