Harron Homes has welcomed A-Level students from The Joseph Whitaker in Rainworth to its development in Edwinstowe as part of the students’ course field trip. As part of their studies, 23 geography students and accompanying teachers were given a guided tour around the Thoresby Vale development.

The tour was led by staff from Harron Homes, including David Mills – Site Manager, Niall Gibson – Assistant Site Manager and Paul Walters – Sales Manager. The tour involved taking students through both completed and upcoming phases of the development, which meant donning hi-vis vests and hard hats as they explored brand new houses being built.

The students will have learned a lot from the experience, and I’ve already had a few students expressing their interest in getting into the housebuilding industry since!

The students were also brandishing clip boards and pens as they gathered information on the development, working with their teachers to evaluate and appraise what they saw.

Jon Souter, Head of Geography at The Joseph Whitaker school said, “I was delighted when Harron Homes accepted our proposal to survey the site, to then also offer to guide our students around was really a fantastic gesture and we are very grateful that staff took time from their busy jobs to facilitate this.

At Harron we like to contribute to the local community in various ways, and schools are always key to that. We were delighted to show The Joseph Whitaker pupils around our Thoresby Vale development and we hope they took a lot way from the experience.
