Our students gathered on a gloriously sunny June afternoon at the double-pod section of Merryhue Farm to celebrate the end of another exciting year with Transferable Skills Training. There have been many things to celebrate this year, and it was topped off with several awards granted to the students from the Royal Cornwall Show.

Some of our students will be leaving for pastures new and, for them, our staff have a message:

Dear Leavers,

We want to thank each one of you for the memories and the learning we have shared this year. Our final message to you is… to believe in yourself, for you are stronger than you know. Try hard, but know your limits. Ask if you need help, and trust that others will help you. Remember: you are unique, special, and amazing people. Dream, believe, wonder, inspire, always listen and, above all, be kind.

Finally, remember: it might be you last day at TST, but we will always be here.

Take care, 
From everyone at TST

Our staff and students have been busy bees recently, preparing a Queen Bee for the Callington Mayfest parade! Janice led the way to producing the massive papier-mache invertebrate, and we'd like to thank everybody to putting in the necessary effort to pull off something so good. We're pretty sure it caught the eyes of the Callington crowd on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

A blended adult learning course offering English, Maths and IT education with conservation training.

We would like to welcome everybody back! The Easter break has come and gone, and we hope that you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. 

As we enter the Summer term at Merryhue Farm, let's prepare for bright sunshine and warm weather. Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes, be aware of the need for suncream on the hottest days, and most importantly: let's enjoy ourselves!

The students had a blast at Trethorne Park. They had a game of bowling to celebrate the hard work of the last term!

Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal visited Merryhue Farm in February, where she learned about the projects that the not for profit community interest companies Battling On, Work Skills South West, Transferable Skills Training and Grown That Way have been working on. We also had presenters from other local groups, including Age UK, Tamar Grow Local and Plymouth University.

We were absolutely thrilled to be able to have Her Royal Highness visit the farm, and we hope that she enjoyed it!

We wish our students a Happy Halloween! We were very impressed with the ghosts that they made this year. Great effort from all involved!

Welcome back to TST!

We would like to wish all new and returning students a big welcome back to Merryhue Farm. The staff have been looking forward to seeing you all back this week. We know you'll experience many fun activities this coming year, and you'll learn a lot, too! 

As we come back, however, we must all remain aware that COVID guidelines are still to be enforced. For more information on how those will be implemented at Merryhue Farm, please see the files linked below:
