Hair and Beauty at the Virtual School

It has been another busy but productive week at the Virtual School.

Our youth worker had a very productive and ‘beautiful’ 1:1 session with one of her students working on their Hair and Beauty ASDAN Award. Over the last couple of weeks they have had the added bonus of lovely weather and have been able to create their our own outdoor learning space in the sunshine whilst completing the ASDAN Award.
