We are incredibly proud to celebrate Stanley Ayres, one of our apprentices, currently working as a Teaching Assistant at Giles Nursery and Infant School, who has been officially revealed as a winner of the Young Star Award at the North Herts Heroes 2026 awards. 🌟

Hosted by Cllr Keith Hoskins, Chair of North Herts Council, the annual event at Lucas Lane Sports Club honours individuals who selflessly make a difference in the community. Stanley was recognised for his dedication to enhancing learning and physical activity for his pupils.

Drawing on his personal experience as a student who struggled with ADHD, and the discipline he gained from boxing, Stanley now inspires young children at The Giles Nursery and Infants’ School. His humble nature and considerate work make him an exceptional role model for the next generation.

For anyone looking to follow in Stanley’s footsteps, we’re accepting applications to study a PE Teaching Assistant apprenticeship post GCSEs or A Levels from September 2026.
