Learner's Development

At Stoneacre Academy

Being an Apprentice at Stoneacre


As the UK’s first automotive further educational school, we work in line with the Ofsted Education Inspectors Framework. Each apprenticeship and training program curriculum aims to increase Knowledge, Skills and Behaviour. We develop performance to support our apprentices in achieving their career goals.


Young talent is welcomed into the company in the hope they will be instrumental in supporting our plan. This means never having to recruit a manager from outside of the Stoneacre family. We have already promoted young apprentices from only five years ago into managerial positions.


Our staff are rewarded not only financially but with career opportunities to stretch and enhance their capabilities and working lives.
