TAPPS Garden Centre staff work with our students, providing them with the opportunity to apply their classroom skills in a more practical environment.

The students have to measure pieces of wood and cut them to size to build planters.

They also develop their teamwork and leadership skills; working together in a commercial environment.

They have the opportunity to liaise with staff and interact with customers.

The students benefit from starting a project and seeing it through to completion.  Whenever they visit the garden centre they can see the value of the work they have done and can take pride in what they have achieved.

This work contributes to either the Certificate of Personal effectiveness or a BTEC Award.
