“We really appreciate our staff's collective efforts in helping our students reach their potential. This cohort has made a significant impact on KSA, and we wish the Class of 2024 the very best of luck.”

We’re confident he’ll make an outstanding teacher and hope to welcome him back to BWT as a future member of staff.

“We are also delighted that Luke Heaviside has secured an apprenticeship degree level with Jaguar Land Rover, and we’re eager to see the results of another student’s gap year dedicated to pursuing her dream of becoming an author.”
