Coinciding with the partnership we have with Wellacre Technology School, STEGTA are proud to announce the sponsorship of the Wellacre Academy Sixth Form football team. They have been entered in to the British Colleges Elite League, region 5 and are currently in 6th place in the league. This is their first year competing and the majority of the squad are 17 year olds playing against Under 21’s.

Individually, some of the players have also achieved representative honours, 4 boys selected to represent Greater Manchester County Under 18’s Nick Haughton, Mark Derbyshire, Lincoln Gidley and David Brown. Three of those boys were selected for England trials with Nick Haughton making it to the final trial of 18 players in February 2013.

The future is looking bright for the squad and they are busy recruiting players/students for next year. We wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season!

STEGTA were visited by 4 Ofsted inspectors on 13th – 16th November 2012 who assessed all aspects of our service and delivery. They were able to speak to our Apprentices and their parents, employers we work with and sub-contractors to gain feedback about our performance.

The feedback we received from Ofsted was extremely positive and included some of the following comments:

We would like to thank all of the employers, learners, parents, colleges and our partner organisations for their support during the inspection process. STEGTA are pleased to share the full inspection report with you and this can be accessed by clicking the link below:
