Hide AdDebbie Mollart added: “Many of these students are continuing to EYE level 3 here at Collyer’s, moving straight into child care careers or taking places on Higher Education courses. At Collyer’s we ‘Educate for Excellence’ and I hope these wonderful students carry this on into their work with young children.
“I wish them all the very best of luck and I can speak for all of their teachers when I say that the students leaving will be sorely missed by us all.”
