About Priestley Education and Training Trust (PETT)
Since its formation in 2012 The Priestley Education and Training Trust (PETT) has made a difference to the lives of hundreds of young people and continues to do so.
It was set up with the aim of supporting students’ educational aims and objectives through grants, donations and other payments.
So far PETT has helped a young man whose dream was to represent his country in the Tokyo Paralympics, a soprano who needed support when studying abroad, another former student who went to South America to teach in an impoverished area with others supported to attend specialist drama and dance schools.
PETT also awards Viola Beach Scholarships in honour of the band members who tragically lost their lives in a car accident in 2016. All of them were former Priestley students.
PETT regularly supports students who need urgent additional funding for items as varied as travel costs, study materials, educational visit costs and specialist college fees.
Everyone the charity supports is either a former or current student with aspirations of continuing their education in some way or have aspirations that either inspire others or will make a difference in the world.
Not only are we very proud of the charity, but also the people it helps as they show what exceptional young people study at Priestley College every year.
