I know you were being playful but I wondered if you were related to any of the meerkats as the answer to “Twigging a basic error” (10 February) is “simples”. Bradford College is the sponsor of Appleton Academy - the Year 11s can progress to the sixth form in the academy (soon to be housed in the new building) or on to full-time FE courses at Bradford College or on to one of the apprenticeship programmes at City Training Services - yes you’ve guessed it - part of Bradford College.
