Site Closure for Her Majesty's Funeral - Monday 19th
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

Here Comes the Sun - Summer Term
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!
Path Clearing & Animals at Harlings
We went to Harlings today to clear the pathways. A great day out, and they have some brilliant animals!
Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal visits Merryhue Farm
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, Winning Steps 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!
