AN 18 year-old student from York College has received the Persimmon Homes Carpentry and Joinery award in recognition of his outstanding achievement over the academic year.
Peter Wright, who attends St John’s School for the Deaf in Boston Spa, beat 12 of his colleagues, and plans to embark on the Level 3 Diploma in Site Carpentry in September.
“I am really enjoying my course,” said Peter. “It has been hard work but definitely worth it.
“I am learning so much and gaining lots of new skills which will help me find future employment.”
