    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? To register, please click on this link https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lnkYNh63RWK3CTZWnjKu8Q#/registration #tlevelsweek #tlevels #vocationalcourses
