Testimonials
Being at the YWH has helped me decide what I would like to do when I leave school, and this has made me feel more confident with my post 16 decisions.
I had more support with my education and learning and felt as though I was being listened to and heard more.
I am really proud that I have been able to sit my exams, especially speaking and listening, because if I was still at school, I believe I would not have done them.
I am very proud that I have been accepted with a place at college and can move on without struggling.
I have learned a lot more in my lessons and enjoyed my lessons.
