Hi,

Welcome to our Community Web-page. My name is Linda Crayton and I am the Community Development Worker for Earlsheaton Technology College. A major part of my role within the school is to encourage parents and members of the wider community to voice their preferences regarding the adult provision and services that could be facilitated by the school and its partners. You now have the opportunity to tell me what kind of courses, groups, services and support you would want to be run at the school. For an informal chat please contact me on...
