Lovely to spend the evening with our wonderful governors, who give their time and care to advancing and championing the College. Our Catering & Hospitality learners and our Creative Arts learners were superb - a real testimony to the power of vocational education and training.

I’ve spent the day with some inspirational people, who have demonstrated care, compassion and commitment in supporting the advancement of our anti-racism journey @bridgendcollege.bsky.social. It was an honour to spend time with some exceptional students, staff and governors.

Three people sat around a table talking, with other tables of people working in groups in the background.

Two people sat at a table listening, as part of a discussion.

Insightful listening to Tim Peake at the @aoc-info.bsky.social conference last week. My takeaways… 💡 Diversity gives breadth of thinking, ideas and problem solving. 💡 Failure is the best teacher. 💡 Importance of non-negotiables AND flexibility to do other tasks when it works for the individual.
