BCA English

Amazing experience for our Y8 girls. Thanks @CrossFitWire 💪🏻

Thank you @crontoncoll for inviting us to the Oxbridge event with some of our year 9 students. Fantastic A-Level taster sessions and a brilliant insight into post 16 education. The students left feeling inspired. Great to see our alumni thriving, too!

Box jumps and rope climbs for our Strong Girls Squad today at @CrossFitWire Learning new skills and gaining confidence each week! 💪🏻

Another great session for our girls taking part in the 'Strong Girls Squad' programme at @CrossFitWire Lucky to have the opportunity to experience this at a local gym!

A brilliant opportunity for Y8 girls who are taking part in the Strong Girls Squad programme at @CrossFitWire Focussing on physical, emotional and social strength. A great first session 💪🏻

What a glorious day for a campus tour of @KeeleUniversity organised by @Higher_Horizons. It is great to see our youngest students starting to see the amazing opportunities within education that may await them!

An exciting day ahead for some of our year seven students who are enjoying a campus day at @KeeleUniversity

We love being able to welcome back our alumni to inspire the next generation of BCA students. Balazs' careers talk on cyber security was engaging and informative!

Thanks to Helen and the team from @XPOLogistics for a brilliant careers talk. Students really enjoyed finding out more about the wide range of career options in logistics

A brilliant careers talk for students who are considering a career in the emergency services. Thanks to the staff from Warrington Fire Station!

A brilliant, informative afternoon with Josh from @SGerrardAcademy for some of our footballers. It was great for them to learn about the careers available within football and their post 16 options #careersinsport

Excellent blog by @j_a_maxwell199 on a whole-school approach to flashcard use. A focused approach to a small number of teaching (& study) strategies is likely to be implemented & sustained better because it allows a focus on quality & adaptation. niprincipal.blogspot.com/p/this-much-i-…

Reading fluency assessments are really useful indicators, but there can be a limited relationship with reading comprehension when it comes to the academic language typically used later in school: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A wonderful music winter showcase this evening with our talented students. A lovely, festive evening @BCAperform 🎄

@AdamMcMillan77 @DoctorChrisVT So interesting, isn't it. Changed my perspective too

It’s been a while since a book completely changed my perspective on something but this certainly has. A really enlightening book from @DoctorChrisVT

Thanks to Miss Blundell's creative writing enrichment we have 57 of our students who are now published authors. They feature in three poetry collections which is a testament to their creativity and work this year. So proud of them all #authors

Thanks so much @crontoncoll for this brilliant experience for our students today. Challenging sessions on psychology, law, teaching, biology, debate and leadership followed by pizza and a silent disco! Another great day exploring their options after BCA #college

A brilliant opportunity for two of our hospitality students who are gaining experience of the workplace this week at @McDonaldsUK #careers #workexperience

It's the birthday today of Prof David Crystal. Anyone who has taught English language at any level will know how influential he has been as an explainer of linguistics. Here, for example, is a piece on the quirks of English spelling. David - thank you. buff.ly/3RZbyo9

After a final briefing from Mr Leeming our Bronze @DofE students are on their last leg. Some really strong map-reading skills being developed!
