Amanda Noon, Director of Learning and Development said:
“Pure offers a range of services driven by a commitment to create an inclusive community. To further pursue this goal, we opened Pure College in Stockport, a unique specialist employability college for SEND students, in September 2022.
Delivering services to benefit our community and having an education offer perfectly aligns to the ambition of GMLPN. After attending an event we were incredibly impressed and are thrilled to be part of the Network. We look forward to collaborating in the very near future.”
