70/70 Campaign

A school which believes ‘working together leads to achieving more’ has teamed up with ESB. Cornwall’s Liskeard School and Community College has taken advantage of free training, as part of ESB’s 70/70 campaign. Following the training session, Liskeard’s learners entered their Speech Assessments with confidence. The success of these Speech Assessments has led the school to consider expanding the number of courses available to students. ESB Assessor Trevor Brown said, “I thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to Liskeard School and Community College. I had the pleasure of spending 4 days with a wonderful group of teachers and students. I was particularly impressed by the eclectic mix of students who took part in the assessments. Many of the students had additional needs and challenges and it was a joy to see them rise to the occasion and shine. Most had never performed in public before and I was genuinely inspired by the courage and perseverance

shown in overcoming, not only nerves, but also so many last-minute changes due to COVID. “It was incredibly rewarding to see so many smiling faces and to hear the vast majority of students enjoyed the experience and would love to do it again. In our current climate, this was a complex and complicated series of assessments to bring together and all credit should go to the amazing team at LSCC.”
