    Henry recently wrapped up an incredible debut at his first-ever RC World Championships! After using practice to master a challenging circuit, Henry surged from 142nd in seeding to 107th overall in qualifyinghighlighted by a stellar 86th-place round. In the highly competitive main final, he blasted up to 4th place within three laps before mistakes and an engine cut set him back. He also qualified 6th for the Junior World Final, fighting his way into 2nd place early on until a pitlane crash and a mechanical issue forced a tough retirement. While the final results didn't match his pace, the experience gained was unmatched. Next up: the RedsGP in Italy, followed by winter racing and the Montpellier GP in France next February! #RCRacing #WorldChampionships #RCQualified #JuniorWorldFinal #RedsGP #MontpellierGP #RadioControl #Motorsport

    19 – 23 October is T Levels Week. T Levels are two-year courses that young people can take following GCSEs. Broadly equivalent in size to 3 A levels and accruing UCAS points. T Levels were developed in collaboration with employers to ensure that students will be equipped with the skills they need. They offer a mixture of classroom learning and 'on the job' experience with at least 45 days spent on an industry placement with an employer. With a T Level, students can progress straight on to skilled work, higher study or apprenticeships. Join us for this special parent and carer webinar, designed to help parents and carers understand everything they need to know about T Levels, including: What are T Levels? Which subjects are available? Where can I study a T Level? What are the progression routes from T Levels? Where can you find out more?

    From Marlborough Sports Hall to Representing Great Britain: Local teenager Ronia Joshi, 15, has achieved an amazing milestone in her artistic roller-skating journey from taking her very first steps on skates at Marlborough Sports Hall aged just three, to representing Great Britain in Figueres, Spain. Ronia has grown up with a real love of skating and has dedicated countless hours to training, always showing passion, determination and commitment. Her journey hasn't always been easy - various injuries almost stopped her progress, but Ronia worked hard to come back stronger and continued to pursue the sport better than ever. Last year, she became part of Quartet Kymera, skating alongside girls from across the country from different clubs. Building a successful quartet meant regular training, travelling and learning to perform together as a team. The girls competed at the National Quartet Championships in June, where they not only won it but also achieved the qualification needed to compete internationally. They then made history by becoming part of the first British quartets sent to compete internationally at the Cup de Europe in Figueres, Spain. This September, Ronia and her team represented Great Britain in in the Cadet B Quartet category. Kymera achieved an impressive 4th place, narrowly missing out on a podium finish and achieving a personal best. For Ronia and her family, seeing her journey develop from a little girl skating at her local sports hall to competing internationally for her country has been an incredibly proud moment. Her story is a wonderful reminder that big dreams can start in small, local places and that passion, resilience, teamwork and determination can take you a very long way. #RollerSkating #SkateDedication #SkateCommunity #HardWorkPaysOff #RollerSkateTraining #SkateJourney #LifelongSkater #StartedYoung #RollerSkatingChampionship
