Open Evening Success

Over 500 visitors were welcomed by staff and students at our annual Open Evening.

All departments pulled out the stops to show the college at its very best with a range of activities and displays on offer.

Young students and their families who are considering a move to BVC were treated to flame-throwing and robotics in Science, dance and drama rehearsals in Creative Arts, creating a ghost story in English, fashion, catering and 3d modelling in Design, as well as student-run activities in Humanities, Art, PE, Languages and Maths.

The Hive, our specialist student-support centre, was also open with College Captains on hand to answer any questions put to them by potential students. Refreshments were made and served by Year 11 Catering students.

The Year 8 tour guides did a marvellous job keeping everything running smoothly and the evening ended with a presentation by Head of School Vickey Poulter and students Edward Evans and Hannah Nussey.

Ms Poulter said: “It was an extremely busy evening and the school looked fabulous. It is the amazing work by staff and students alike that makes BVC such a fantastic school.

“So many visiting parents were really positive about us and the feedback was excellent.

“Edward Evans and Hannah Nussey were truly amazing in their talk to parents – they were a hard act to follow!”
