Malaga 2026!

Some of our SEND students spent a week in Malaga exploring fortresses, visiting aquariums, and spending time at the beach! Check out one of the butterflies they saw at the sanctuary ➡️

It was a great opportunity for our students to see another part of the world, and pick up some great life skills!

If you’re the person everyone turns to for support, a CPCAB Counselling course at BCoT could be your next step.

Get the professional skills, real-world knowledge, and recognised qualifications you need to make a genuine difference in people's lives.

Our Apprenticeship Fair was yesterday! 🎉

We had an incredible turnout - our Lower Concourse was packed. It was lovely to see productive conversations between aspiring apprentices and employers taking place.

Our next fair will be in February 🚀

Saturday was our Staff family Fun Day! ☀️

It was a day for our staff to bring their friends and family and enjoy games, ice creams, and a BBQ.

Thank you to everyone who helped put this amazing event on.

Investing in our Campus!

We are very grateful to be receiving nearly £700,000 from the government to improve our campus facilities. This will help us to reduce classroom disruptions, create more comfortable learning environments and help students reach their potential.

Our Hair students got a hair extensions masterclass!

Ben Reilly from Hair Plus Academy spent a day with our students, teaching them a versatile and long lasting hair extension method. Our students also received their own personal extensions kit!

Last week, we were joined by Bishop Challoner students and some of our ex-BCoT students!

The Bishop Challoner students came to our Beauty Department for a taster session, where they got involved with tasks like hand massages. They also heard from students who got their qualifications at BCoT, and now work in the industry!

It was a full circle moment that brought together past, present, and future BCoT students 🤝
