LVS Hassocks Student Success
We are proud of our students at LVS Hassocks and their success in their work experience placements, securing themselves further education places at college and moving on to apprenticeships and employment.
A thank you note from a parent reads: "I would like to say a big Thank You to all the staff at LVS for all the time, effort and dedication they have put in to Nat's education and development, without them he would never have reached this and been able to go on and study his chosen career. They saw in Nat what no-one else in the education system could. I have a son that I am so immensely proud of and thanks to LVS he has grown into a young man that has a wonderful future ahead of him. Thank You LVS."
