As part of #NAW2026 #ApprenticeWednesday, we are excited to share some of our apprentices’ journeys.
Meet Holly King, a Level 3 HR Support Apprentice based at our Central Team Office.

"I’ve completed apprenticeships before and thrive in a hands-on learning environment. I really enjoy being able to turn written theory into real-life scenarios within my working day.
Apprenticeships are incredibly valuable long-term, as they allow you to gain practical experience in your chosen field while also working towards a recognised qualification.
I’ve particularly enjoyed experiencing different areas of HR and learning about the varied remits within the role. Over the past year, I’ve gained experience not only in an HR-specific role but also within an office-based environment, giving me valuable insight into what happens behind the scenes in schools.
I’m supported in my learning with two half days each week dedicated to coursework and additional training, which helps me stay focused and make meaningful progress."
Looking ahead, I aspire to continue building my career in HR and progress within an HR team. I’m keen to complete a Level 5 qualification after achieving my Level 3 and to keep developing my skills for the future.
