Jessica Barnes has been selected for the English Colleges under 19’s Ladies Netball squad and Taz Wara for the English Colleges under 19 men’s Rugby Squad. These 2 students will now join Keiran Bedford who was earlier selected for the Under 19’ England Hockey squad. All of the students went through a number of local, regional and national trials to achieve this amazing success.

The 3 students formed a group of 15 students that reached the West Midlands squads, and further re-enforces Newcastle-under-Lyme’s College’s status as one of the top in the West Midlands. A fact supported by the college being named West Midlands College of the year for 2012.
