Early Years Education Alumni StudentI chose West Lancashire College as it offered the course I wanted to take and was also my local college. I gained so much work experience on my programme and I really enjoyed my placement at St Richard’s Primary School. My tutors, Mell and Kerrie were beyond amazing and were so supportive. I have progressed onto studying Primary Education with QTS at Edge Hill University.
