Today, some of our Esports learners were looking at different options for upgrades and swaps to make a PC with gaming spec for one of the group to practice on - a great practical learning session.

Andrea and Rosie Wigan Council visited us today to run a focus group to find out how young people who live/work in the borough prefer the council to communicate with them. We had a great mix of learners who had the chance to use their voices to discuss lots of important topics.

Our thoughts are with the 22 people who lost their lives eight years ago in the Manchester Arena bombing. We remember them today and those whose lives were forever affected.
