This week we welcomed the brilliant IntoUniversity to run a Year 11 workshop all about Post-16 Options. The energy and engagement throughout the session was infectious, and we had to bring in extra tables and chairs to meet demand! 🤩

Many also signed up to the after-school study sessions held on Mondays and Thursdays (flyer is below - all are welcome!).

This speaks volumes about our young people's investment in their futures, and we are very proud of them.

Our first Careers Fair as E-ACT Bristol Academy South was a roaring success! 🎉

A huge well done to everyone who helped make our return such a positive and successful one! 👏 🤩
