Supported Learning - Work Step
“My Work Step course is great. I’ve improved my maths skills, learned how to use a computer and even cooked food. I really like English too, but my absolute favourite is music! I played the flute for an Irish music display my class did in the Atrium and everyone joined in. It was so much fun!”
