Year 9 Learn to Earn Enterprise Day

  By ,

We had an incredible day as our Level 3 BTEC Business students took the lead in organizing the “Year 9 Learn to Earn Enterprise Day” on Wednesday 17th June.

The two sessions started with a fun and creative icebreaker – building spaghetti towers – which got everyone engaged and working together. A highlight of the day was the interactive careers wheel, where students engaged with external Business Advisors, asking thoughtful questions and gaining real-life insight.

Our sixth formers then delivered an insightful session on different career pathways, covering Be Your Own Boss, Apprenticeships and Further Education.

To finish the sessions, students worked in teams to design an app for the school which focused on careers, showcasing their teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills. Congratulations to Group 11 for winning both the AM & PM sessions.

We were especially proud to hear our Business Advisors’ comment on how amazing, engaged and respectful our students were throughout the day.

A massive thank you to our brilliant Business Advisors who generously gave their time and shared their expertise – their support made a real difference!

We’re so proud of everyone involved – What a fantastic day of learning, inspiration and planning for future careers.

Purple up Trip

  By ,

On St Georges day Mrs Wadsley fand Mr Morey took some Branston Community Academy’ students from service families to Lincoln Bishop University to join other schools at a Purple Up Event celebrating the month of the military child.

The morning was spent writing poetry about the winds of change. Our students represented the school well fully engaging with all tasks. They wrote some great poems. Five of our students were brave enough to read out their poems in front of others. A lovely lunch was provided and students sat outside in the sunshine to eat it.

In the afternoon our students were asked to do collage art about the winds of change in their lives. Quite a few students produced stormy scenes; others used a variety of media and methods to make emotive images that mean something to them.

At the end of the day we all met up for a reflection of the day and sharing of ideas.
