At Millbrook Horizons, we work towards AQA-accredited units, giving students the chance to earn recognized qualifications. Alongside this, students will create a portfolio showcasing the activities they’ve participated in and the skills they’ve developed. These experiences provide not only valuable qualifications but also the confidence to continue these activities in their own time.
