Last weekend BHBS students and staff took part in the latest Swimathon at Hereford Leisure Pool.

The Swimathon is a national event with thousands of swimmers across the country, fundraising for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie.

Participants completed various challenges and distances over the weekend. Year 7 student Amelia swam an incredible 5km.

Huge congratulations to all those who took part.

 

 

 

In February, 10 of our Year 11 students attended an outreach event at the Cider Orchard restaurant at Herefordshire College.

This is the fourth year the college have hosted this fantastic event which gives the students a wonderful opportunity for a hands on experience of the courses on offer.

The students worked with the Hospitality & Catering team using seasonal produce in a realistic working environment and produced an outstanding four-course lunch for the colleges restaurant guests.

We would like to thank all the staff for such a valuable day.

Pictured are some of the students who took part and the incredible food they prepared.

 

 

                                       

 

Thank you to Frank H. Dale Ltd for hosting thirteen of our Year 10 pupils on March 20th. 

FH Dale are one of the UK’s largest and most technologically advanced steel fabricators.

Students were given a detailed talk on the various aspects of the business from estimation through to production, delivery, construction and SHEQ. The huge range of career options were discussed within the industry.

They also had a tour of the workshops housing state of the art equipment.

Over the 6th and 7th of February, 80 Design & Technology students had an amazing time during their recent school trip to the Williams F1 Factory in Oxfordshire.

They thoroughly enjoyed the factory tour, where they saw both past and present race cars up close, sparking excitement and curiosity about the engineering behind F1. The STEM challenge, focusing on crumple zones, allowed students to engage in hands-on learning about car safety features and to ‘crash test’ their designs.

The highlight of the trip was using the F1 Esports simulators, which gave them a thrilling, immersive racing experience. It was an unforgettable experience that inspired their passion for engineering and motorsports. Alfie (LLX) was very impressive and even drew the attention of current F1 Esports Championship leader, Ismael Fahssi.
