Our second year Level 3 Sports Science students were getting to grips with VR headsets in a range of sports including table tennis, cricket and Formula 1 - the latter of which they enjoyed competing against each other at various tracks from around the world.

Linking to their technology in sport unit, they also immersed themselves into 360° scenarios within real life sporting situations and experiences.

A great turn out of parents of students who are progressing to university in September. We hope you all found it useful.

Well done to Level 3 Applied Science student, Isabellle who has gained some great uni offers to progress her career ambitions.

The former Fred Longworth High School Careers Team pupil would like to work with mammals in the future saying, "I have an interest in making sure the animals are safe and giving back to nature."

On the course she added: "I've enjoyed the practical experiments and the assignments are very varied. The BTEC was better for me as I am more suited to a mix of assignments and exams."
