Students from Year 8 spent this morning visiting the First Bus depot in Bramley to gain an understanding of job roles within the transport industry along with relevant apprenticeships. The visit included a hands-on tour of the depot exploring how more sustainable fuel sources are being integrated, along with a practical workshop on identifying and managing stress lead by staff from Ahead Partnership. As always students were excellent ambassadors for our academy.
