This week, our students were taking part in some bare-root tree planting along the Merryhue hedgerows. We planted 160 Hawthorns and Blackthorns. It was a great effort - just as great as the weather! Good job, all involved!

TST will be releasing bi-monthly Newsletters, starting on Feb 1st this year. We will include relevant contact details, as well as a recap of all the months highlights for the students, including pictures taken by the staff of what's been going on down at Merryhue Farm.

If you are interested in receiving this Newsletter, please send a request to adam@battling-on.com, making clear that you wish to be put on the list.

We hope you have had a pleasant start to 2023!

Kind regards,

TST Team

Good morning,

Please be aware that ice and snow can be very dangerous, especially in the steep hills of Cornwall. Even though there is no snow on site at Merryhue Farm, please be aware of any potential ice patches on or around the site.

Please also get in contact if snow affects travel.

We hope you have had a positive start to 2023!

Regards,

The TST Team

A big congratulations to the students as we come to the end of another term! It's been a very productive year, and we're hoping that everybody enjoys the Christmas holidays. We'll all be back in January, fresh and ready for another exciting year.

TST is now closed from today - Friday 9th December - and will reopen on Tuesday 3rd January. Please be aware that the offices will also be closed. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Our students will often leave Merryhue Farm to conduct activities at different sites. These activities include fly fishing, litter picking, paddle-boarding...

This time, they were making sourdough bread! The results look delicious, and we're sure you'd agree.

Thank you to the staff at Harewood Farm for hosting our students. They really enjoyed the experience!

Our students took a trip to Rose Park Fisheries. At first, it didn't look like the fish were biting, but we caught one with the last catch of the day!

Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

Considering recent events and the announcement of a public holiday for the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we will not be opening on Monday 19th September, in line with DfE guidance.

This will allow individuals, businesses, and other organisations to pay their respects to Her Majesty and commemorate Her reign, while marking the final day of the period of national mourning.

We at TST will be holding a minute’s silence this coming Wednesday morning, giving us and our learners the opportunity to demonstrate our sadness and loss at the passing of the Queen.

May we remind you to cancel transport arrangements for the Monday.

College will be re-opening as normal on the 20th of September.

Yours sincerely

Mark Claridge

Head of Education
