We're incredibly proud that later this month, Stanley Macintosh, who is studying a Level 3 Apprenticeship in Bespoke Furniture Making at Rycotewood Furniture Centre while working at Bill Cleyndert & Company, will be competing in Cabinet Making as part of Team UK at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026!

Known as the ‘Skills Olympics,’ WorldSkills is a global competition that sees the world’s most talented apprentices and young professionals go head-to-head in a high-stakes battle of skill, precision and innovation 🎉

The prestigious competition raises the profile of vocational and technical education, shows that practical careers require discipline, creativity and exceptional commitment, and challenges competitors to reach the highest standards while encouraging them to learn from experts globally.

As the competition draws closer, Josh Hudson, Lead at Rycotewood Furniture Centre and Stanley's tutor, writes about the role of WorldSkills in preserving practical skills: https://bit.ly/4gRWPqF

Got Connect to College week in your diary? ❤️

Here's what to expect.

Connect to College Week runs during the first week of September, and you can find out your allocated day by heading to the Activate Learning website and clicking 'Courses', 'Joining a course' and then 'Starting a course'.

This transition week helps new students meet tutors, build friendships, learn routines, and explore campus digital tools before regular timetable classes start.

We want you to use this week as an opportunity to build relationships, explore the tools required for learning at college, and establish positive routines and expectations.

City of Oxford College and University Centre would like to congratulate the students who passed their GCSE qualifications today ❤️

Students have achieved excellent results, reflecting their hard work, determination and ambition across both academic and technical qualifications.

Hannah O'Neill, FCCT O'Neill, Group Director of Academic Studies Faculty and Director of City of Oxford College and University, at Activate Learning said: “Today is an opportunity to recognise the commitment, resilience and perseverance our learners have shown throughout their studies. Their results reflect not only academic achievement, but also the personal growth and confidence they have developed along the way.

“Every student has followed their own unique journey, and behind every set of results is an extraordinary story of determination and ambition. Seeing our learners reach this milestone makes today a moment of real celebration; every learner should feel proud of their progress.

“As they move on to their next step, whether that is A Levels, T Levels, vocational programmes, apprenticeships, training or employment, we are excited to see what they achieve next. The future is full of possibilities, and we are confident they will continue to thrive.
