Inspiring Young Minds Through the Arts ✨

At M7 Education, we’re proud to fund opportunities that open doors and broaden horizons. Recently, we supported students from Thorns Collegiate Academy on an unforgettable trip to the Birmingham Royal Ballet 🩰

The students took part in a professional workshop and dance lesson with a ballet dancer — gaining first-hand insight into the dedication, discipline and artistry behind the performance.

Here’s what some of the pupils had to say:

💬 “It’s showed me how challenging it is to be a dancer, mentally and physically. It also taught me not to write things off too early — I was hesitant as I knew it was ballet, but I really enjoyed it.”

💬 “It has inspired me to go a little bit out of my comfort zone and try something new.”

💬 “I was able to learn new repertoire that I could use in my BTEC exam in Component 3.”

Experiences like this build confidence, resilience and ambition — helping students discover talents they didn’t even know they had.

We’re honoured to continue funding school trips that make a real difference. 💙
