High Ash School - 2020

What our customers say

We’ve been using the apprenticeship levy for several years now and it is a valuable tool for us to recruit new staff and support our current staff to qualify as teachers. It’s particularly beneficial as it means there is no cost to the trainee and the only cost to the school is the salary of the trainee. Having an apprentice means we can train new teachers in the way we do things at our school meaning they have more success as ECTs and beyond.
