College Feedback -

"Thank you for continuing to provide such stimulating speakers for the sixth form - there has already been a lot of follow up discussion and a workshop linked to Vickey's visit.

I should also mention that our VIP guest from the DfE was also suitably impressed with the work of the Rotary.
