Regents Review Spring '18

The Regents Review Spring 2018

GENERAL NEWS

Who was your favourite teacher at Regents Park and why? Mrs Cosford because she made me laugh and her lessons were always fun. Mr Isaacs lessons were also enjoyable as he used to play music as we would come in. How has your time at Regents Park helped you with your life after education? Regents Park helped me to pass all of my exams with C’s and above, so that I was able to go to college for further education. What did you go on to do when you left Regents Park? After Regents Park I went to Tauntons, university did not really interest me and I wanted to start working as soon as possible. I completed the two years and then started my job here doing an apprenticeship in Business Administration.

What advice would you give your former 14 year old self? As long as you try and do your best that’s all that matters.

Our Students at City College

Students taking engineering and motor vehicle courses must wear safety boots and overalls in the workshops, which until this year had to be purchased by the students themselves. So it is thanks to the kind sponsorship of Eddy Hall, BeckEd Racing Supplies Ltd who has kindly donated overalls for all of these students to wear! Please see the photograph of our students proudly wearing their designer overalls, the envy of others at college, in overalls that are not merely ‘one size fits all’!

A number of Regents Park students in Years 10 & 11 attend college courses for one morning each week throughout the academic year. Courses currently studied include Engineering Technology, Introduction to the Hair & Beauty Sector and Early Years. In the Summer Term some of our current Year 9 students will be attending a taster day at City College in preparation for taking up a range of courses there in the autumn. All courses include a lot of practical ’hands on’ activities which the students really enjoy.
