Employers go back to school

The city's newest sixth form centre has proved a big hit with a dramatic increase in numbers.
In its first year, 97 teenagers studied in Studio 6 at The Milton Keynes Academy, but already 186 students have enrolled for September 2010, with the number expected to rise to more than 200.
Students will be travelling to the £30m Academy at Leadenhall from all over Milton Keynes to take advantage of its impressive new facilities.
"It's brilliant that we will double our numbers from the first year," said Head of Studio 6 Sarah Forster, "Young people know that they have to do so much more to succeed in today's harsh economic climate, so an increasing number are continuing their studies rather than leaving school at 16.
