Farewells begin 🥲

We were sad to say our goodbyes to Andrii last week who came to Bath Academy from Ukraine to study his GCSEs. He brought in chocolates to give his thanks to Andrew Russell for teaching him English as a Second Language. 💬

He goes on to further studies in Poland. 🙌 🇵🇱

Take care Andrii - we will miss you and your incredible style! 💥

A week of balance, focus, and resilience 🌿🎯

Last week, our students (and some of our staff) stepped away from their desks to take part in yoga classes and archery lessons - two activities that build far more than physical skills.

Yoga helped students practise mindfulness, breathing techniques, and stress management, supporting better concentration, calmer thinking, and improved wellbeing during busy study periods (particularly useful as we approach exam season). Archery encouraged patience, precision, discipline, and the ability to stay focused under pressure - all essential skills for effective revision and exam success.

Whether it’s holding a yoga pose or aiming for the target, both activities reminded students that progress comes from consistency, focus, and confidence in the process - the same mindset needed for studying and exams. 💫📚

Our students rolled into fun and friendship at last week’s Social Programme event - a trip to the rollerdisco! From first-time wobbles to confident spins, it was incredible to see everyone stepping (and skating!) out of their comfort zones. 🛼✨🪩

These moments are what college life is all about: stepping out of your comfort zone, trying something new, and making memories that last long beyond the classroom. 💙

A huge shoutout to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special - we’re already looking forward to the next adventure, which will be archery! 🏹

Gardening Club kicked off last week, and the sun even came out to celebrate with us. 🌞

Reuben, David, and Dylan got stuck in preparing the ground and building beds, ready for planting this week. Check out Slide 10 to see which seeds are being sown this Friday. 💮🍃🪴🍅🌻

Gardening isn’t just about growing plants - it’s a great way to boost wellbeing, get active outdoors, learn new skills, and feel a sense of community. There is also the added plus of maybe even eating the fruits of your labour - if all goes to plan! 🌱

Gardening Club runs every Friday at 3pm. Email Laura Labonte if you would like to get involved.
