Lee stafford academy croydon opens its doors

Lee Stafford Academy Croydon is the latest education initiative from the acclaimed hairdresser and educator. The partnership with Croydon College was announced on Twitter, with Lee sharing the good news with his 52,000 followers. Lee and his team will now be putting the college's current hairdressing staff through their paces in a three-week intensive training course. Going forward, they will continue to work together to ensure that staff are up to date with new and emerging techniques. Frances Wadsworth, principal at Croydon College said: "The Lee Stafford Academy will offer Croydon's students top-quality training to develop their skills in a high-profile, commercial working environment. This partnership will help to raise standards to the highest levels, increase student confidence, professionalism, and really enhance students' employability skills and their job prospects." Lee adds: "I am very excited to be working with staff at Croydon College. They are the perfect partners as they share the same passions, standards and dedications as Lee Stafford Education (LSE). I am so passionate about the hairdressing industry and I want to communicate through Croydon College what a great career it can be - the creativity, the diversity, the opportunities - but I also want to help to raise the profile of, and standardise the profession and make hairdressing an industry of which Britain can be proud." Croydon College recently announced plans for a £3m expansion to its campus. The new academy will be a precursor to the works and will open in September at the college's main campus site, off Park Lane.
