Month: January 2024

I am Mubasshira. I have recently achieved English Level 2 from Level 1 and also, I have passed my GCSE in Maths with a Grade 5 within a very short period of time. Being from a different country, I was lacking the English and Math skills required to go into University. So, I decided to take my English, Math and Work Skills lessons here in Morthyng College.

Before getting started, I did not really think I would be able to progress as quickly as I did, however with the individualised help from my Tutors, I was able to finish my GCSE Maths and Level 1 in English within 4 months.

Talking about the sessions, it has always been really engaging and effective, and this is the reason I have got 100% attendance. There is no rush in lessons, which means every learner is learning at their own pace. The classmates are really helpful as well. As a part of our lessons, sometimes we engage in different fun activities which allows us to refresh our mind. We also get the opportunity to share different ideas and events with our tutors.

Chantelle is doing excellently across her full programme. Her Mum shared in the annual review today that Chantelle has never been happy or settled in an educational setting until she came to Morthyng.

Chantelle has never felt safe anyway but she feels safe in Morthyng. She would never walk down the road to school but now she will get up and get on a bus to come to College. This is great personal progress for Chantelle who is now feeling so much more positive about her future.

Max has always struggled to communicate with others his entire life. Since starting at Morthyng he has made friends and is talking to other learners in his lessons – something he never thought he would be able to do.

Robyn joined us in October 2023, she had just a few weeks to prepare for her GCSE resits.

Robyn worked hard and attended extra English lessons and sat her exams in November, she was able to gain a Grade 5 on her English GCSE.

Robyn is currently excelling in her Health and Social Care Level 2 and has already passed her first assignment. She is currently working towards her Level 1 Functional Skills in maths.

Skye constantly doubts her abilities and had very little self-confidence, when Skye joined us, she didn’t want to speak to anyone including her tutors. In the last year and a half Skye has made amazing progress completing a Level 1 Health and Social Care qualification, she has recently gained her Level 2 Functional Skills in English and is currently working towards her Level 2 in maths.

Skye is currently excelling in her Level 2 Health and Social Care lessons and is well on the way to achieving it, she now has some great professional relationships with her tutors and will also speak to her peers.

Kashif joined us almost 2 years ago to work primarily on his English and Maths, he has sat his GCSE English and maintained a grade 3. When he started Kashif completed a BKSB and began working towards his Entry 3 in Math, he quickly achieved this and continued working through the next levels. Kash has recently gained his Level 2 Functional Skills in Math by remaining focused and dedicated to his studies.

Kashif continues to work towards his GCSE in English and is currently working on a Level 2 Construction qualification.

Tomas is in his 2^nd year at Morthyng, he is a hard worker who will always give 100% regardless of the work given to him. He was able to achieve his Entry 3 English last year and is currently excelling in his Level 1.

Tomas has already achieved an Entry 3 Certificate in Work Skills in his last academic year and this year he has already completed a Level 1 Certificate in Vocational Studies. As a challenge, Tomas has decided to take on a Level 2 extended award in Work Skills and is continuing to work towards gaining his Level 1 in maths.

Joshua started with us in September 2022 and has been working on developing his Maths, English and Construction skills. He tried his hand at a bit of everything – Bricklaying, Joinery, Painting and Decorating with minimal enthusiasm.

Joshua then had a go at Plastering where he has continued to thrive and flourish with such confidence. His effort and engagement in this area allowed him to quickly pick up new skills, skills that he is now putting to good use as he has been employed full time by Norwood Limited doing drylining.

We wish Josh all the best in his future career!

When Chelsea first joined us she had very little confidence and would get upset at the prospect of coming into College.

Chelsea has slowly overcome her fears and grown in confidence with both staff and her peers, she has made some good friends in her lessons and now looks forward to attending.

Chelsea always doubted her abilities in English and in her Secondary School didn’t attend any lessons, here at Morthyng she has attended every English lesson. Chelsea has worked really hard and put her all into learning and has managed to get a Grade 4 pass in her recent GCSEs.
