St Eds
Employability skills for young people
Our Mechanics Students were lucky to visit the Porsche Norwich site recently. They were given an informative tour around the centre along with the opportunity to sit in the beautiful cars and have a close-up look and the incredible workman ship for these cars.
Thank you Porsche Norwich for taking the time to deliver this visit 💙https://dealer.porsche.com/gb/porschecentrenorwich/en-GB
Summer Club 2025 has got off to a cracking start!
Local young people have been enjoying all the activities on offer at the St-Eds Summer Club. We have some budding artists creating wall art along our corridors, chefs in the making creating a delicious homemade picnic lunches, outdoor lovers enjoying sports and games, and mini carpenters makinh bird boxes and sweet machines.
The Club brings the community together, and creates a change for young people to learn new skills, make friends and increase their confidence.
Thank you to our funders for this project – Freemans Charity, Sir Norman Lamb and The National Lottery 💙
An amazing evening celebrating the successes of our students
Wednesday 23rd July 2025 we celebrated the achievements of our students at Epic Studios Norwich.
We had a huge turn out including parents, carers, friends, local business, funders, and supporters. We were concerned we wouldn’t fill the room but with 300 attendees, the room was packed and the atmosphere was amazing.
Congratulations to all those that achieved and especially to those that were awarded Student of The Year Awards.
A special thank you goes to our supporters that helped to fund the event. Grayson Ltd, Lignacite, Bookers, Busseys, Towergate Insurance, NFCI, George Clark.
A few of St-Eds Hair and Beauty student’s were lucky enough to be able to visit The Imagine Spa in Hethersett recently.
St- Eds had managed to raise funds by having a raffle which enabled us to provide a valuable enrichment activity for the students, they not only got to see what of the day to day running of a spa consisted of, but also as a special treat they got to enjoy the perks of the spa facilities and even getting to experience a head massage.
Thank you Imagine Spa!! https://imaginespa.co.uk/hethersett/facilities/
St-Eds always struggled with outside areas due to the constraints of the building and car park. We decided we needed some outside space for our students to get some fresh air and eat their lunch. We put in for a grant for Tesco Stronger Starts and were lucky enough to receive £500, unfortunately though this wasn’t enough to make the lunch area.
We put a shout out on social media and Aspect Group Services got in touch to say they would like to help 💙 With their contacts in the trade, they managed to get all the materials needed, these were donated by Lee the manager of a local branch of Travis Perkins. Aspect provided all the labour to complete the works, which left the £500 from Tescos for us to purchase some tables, chairs and plants. This truly was a collaboration of local support, thank you Aspect Group Services, Travis Perkins and Tesco.
Aspect Group Services have now committed to becoming an official Friend of St-Eds, to which we are extremely excited for this relationship to continue.https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/ https://www.aspectgroupservices.co.uk/
