He has gone above and beyond in all of his lessons and given 100% every time he has attended.

Kingsley has achieved consistently high attendance and met every target that has been set for him, he has shown amazing dedication to his education over the last 2 years and has achieved his entry 3 functional skills in English and math along with his entry 3 certificate in Vocational Studies.

However she has done extremely well during her time at Morthyng, including achieving high levels of attendance. Grace was praised in her last review for her outstanding attendance record.

When Maddy first came to Morthyng, she could not even look at me in the interview and relied on mum to answer her questions. She was nervous about coming in and often sat at the back of the room so quiet and her head was down. In such a short space of time Maddy began to shine. She was confidently walking into lessons on her own, asking for help when she needed it and started engaging in conversations with peers forming friendships. Maddy is now in her second year at Morthyng and is continuing to thrive and progress. She has achieved;

Functional Skills English at Entry 3

Functional Skills maths at Entry 3

L1 Certificate in Hair and Beauty Skills

Maddy is working towards the next level in all three areas and would like to continue to work and train within the Hair and Beauty Sector

Despite discussing in her interview her barriers, struggles and dislike of maths which led to her avoiding from these lessons in school, Lily now enjoys her maths sessions for the first time in her educational journey. She shared that she understands what she is learning and sees how it can be used in day to day life. Lily feels that she has a good relationship with her tutor and this has made her feel comfortable. She asks questions if she is unsure which has helped her overcome the difficulty. Lily has not previously experienced this with maths before starting at MVC-Corby.

Miya has been working at Dominos for a few months now. Showing her own initiative has led to her being moved into a different department, as the company was very impressed and have offered her training at a higher level. This is a huge personal achievement and something that Miya feels she wouldn’t have been able to do without staff at Morthyng building her confidence and encouraging her.

McKenzie, who never really enjoyed education at school as he never understood it, has completed 2 years with us and has just been accepted onto a Level 2 Bricklaying Course in September (another 2 year course). He wants to keep learning now and is excited for the future!
