R-evolution launch new premises

Boothferry pupils were invited as VIP’s when our friends at R-evolution launched their new premises in Cottingham. For a few years, our successful bike library scheme has been running and it in this new workshop that our bikes are serviced and mended. The event, covered by national press and local TV, involved our pupils having a workshop on bike maintenance, being interviewed about their own loan bikes and undertaking a skills course.

“The curriculum is well designed to include a range of exciting themes, visits and visitors to enhance pupils’ learning. Pupils become
confident individuals who are well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
