Today we welcomed Cherry Tree Academy for a taster session in Mechanics at Castleford College. Such a great afternoon learning about tools, how to use a car jack, removing and refitting a tyre and checking under the bonnet. The children got involved and left with fantastic new skills.

Today we welcomed children from Cherry Tree Academy for a taster session in Carpentry and Joinery at Castleford College . A fantastic afternoon making wooden pencil boxes. They learnt to use the correct tools and after watching a demonstration from the tutor, created their own box.

Today children in year 5 & 6 from Cherry Tree Academy came in for a taster session in Hair & Beauty at Castleford College. What a lovely afternoon in the salons, learning hair plaiting techniques and completing a manicure treatment.
