Another highlight of the Spring term was an engaging assembly delivered by the TfL Citizens Team. The session focused on developing the knowledge and skills required for safe and responsible travel on public transport, including journey planning and the benefits of active travel.

Learners were highly engaged throughout, demonstrating enthusiasm and curiosity. They asked thoughtful questions, contributed confidently to discussions, and clearly enjoyed exploring real-life travel scenarios, helping to build both their knowledge and confidence in a meaningful way.

This workshop plays an important role in supporting learners to travel as independently and safely as possible—an essential step in their preparation for adulthood.

At the start of the Spring term, we resumed our weekly visits to the college allotment, with a focus on preparing our own plot. This has given learners a valuable opportunity to take ownership of what they grow. The group has already dug over the area and planted potatoes and onions next to our the polytunnel, with early signs of growth now beginning to appear.

Despite a cold and wet start to February, learners have demonstrated great commitment and enthusiasm and are now looking ahead to the summer months with optimism.

Back at the Neasden site, students also worked collaboratively to build a raised bed, further developing their practical skills and teamwork. This space will be used to grow flowers and herbs to support our cooking sessions at college.
We look forward to sharing further updates as the field to fork project develops.
