We are always looking for new ways to broaden the educational experience of our students. Over the years, we have enriched our curriculum, strengthened our pastoral support, developed a sector-leading teacher training programme, and used creativity to bring every subject to life.
The next step in our journey is to offer real-world work experience and a supported internship programme that bridges the gap between the highly bespoke, nurturing education students receive here and the more unpredictable world of work. That’s where Much A-Brew comes in.
Young people from The Complete Works are part of the team running the cafe. With guidance from experienced mentors, they learn what it takes to operate a real business - from customer service and food safety to event planning and teamwork. This is real world, practical learning that will serve them far beyond the classroom. By working alongside our team in the café, students gain confidence, employability skills, and a sense of achievement that prepares them for their future.
The name Much A-Brew About Nothing is a nod to our Shakespearean roots and a playful reminder that sometimes, we all need to pause, share a brew, and have a natter about nothing much at all.
