A Visit from Local MP Nesil Caliskan

On Friday 3rd October, members of the Junior Leadership Team (JLT) and members from our ARP department had the privilege of sharing the school’s BEST Habit values with local MP Nesil Caliskan. The pupils spoke proudly about their bravery in embracing new challenges such as indoor skydiving, caving, and activities at Trewern including gorge walking. They also discussed how they have demonstrated Self-Discipline through their involvement in shaping school uniform policies and other initiatives, as well as their strong TeamBA spirit in organising events such as the Great BA Bake Off, BA’s Got Talent, mental health awareness activities, and fundraising efforts for Great Ormond Street Hospital and other charities through sponsored 5K walks.

Ms Caliskan also took the time to listen to the pupils’ thoughts on the challenges they face and their ideas for overcoming them, offering valuable advice and encouragement. She was so impressed by their maturity and enthusiasm that she extended an invitation for them to gain work experience with her team.
