FAWrient Express

All aboard the FAWrient Express—our innovative, train-themed café located right here on the school grounds.

Set within a beautifully restored former train carriage, this retro-inspired café offers a welcoming space for visitors to enjoy a coffee while experiencing something truly special. However, the FAWrient Express is much more than just a café.

It plays a vital role in supporting our pupils to develop real-world skills. Through hands-on experience in customer service, food preparation and hospitality, pupils gain valuable confidence and practical knowledge that will support them in their future pathways.

The project has been made possible through the generosity of a wide range of supporters, whose contributions are proudly recognised on our “wall of honour” inside the café. Their support reflects the power of community in creating meaningful opportunities for young people.

Every visit to the FAWrient Express helps support this mission—turning everyday experiences into life-changing learning opportunities.
