PRINCIPALS
VISIT BERRY HEAD ‘ON THE EDGE' PROJECT
Recently
the Torbay College Principals, who are members of the Adult
& Community Learning (ACL) Strategy Group, met at Berry
Head to pose for the cameras to launch the 2010-11 prospectuses
for adult day and evening classes.
Stephen
Criddle (Principal of South Devon College), Jane English (Principal
of Paignton Community College), Gill Battye (Principal of
Torquay Community College) and Mark Eager (Principal of Brixham
College) enjoyed a guided stroll with warden, Emma Reece.

Emma
explained that Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust had received
Sea Change grant funding for this Geopark gateway site. Berry
Head now has a modern interpretation centre and restaurant,
a new accessible hide, which over-looks the sea bird colony,
plus better pathways. Staff are being trained to repair old
walls using traditional lime mortar methods. |
The
Principals enjoyed a spot of bird watching at the hide before
a coffee in the new Guard House cafe. They meet regularly to
devise the strategy for the future of Adult & Community
Learning across Torbay and are instrumental in ensuring that
the service stays vibrant and meets the needs of learners.
Emma
Reece is offering a course on the Natural History of Berry Head
this autumn at Brixham ACL Centre, which includes two class
based lessons and three site visits. For full details of this
