IMPROVING LIVES, INSPIRING CHANGE

Our very first Post-16 parents open day

We were proud to welcome our Brian Jackson College parents and carers for a morning of College Post-16 Open Day, and it was wonderful to see so many families attending and engaging with the day.

This was the first time we have invited parents to attend an Open Day since the launch of our new Post‑16 provision, and we are pleased to say it will be the first of many more. The event provided an opportunity for parents to explore our facilities, meet staff, and learn more about the provision, support, and pathways available to our students. Visitors were able to ask questions, take part in tours, and gain a clearer insight into how we support young people throughout their learning journey.

We were particularly encouraged by the positive conversations and feedback shared during the day, highlighting the value of opening our doors and strengthening connections with families. The strong turnout also reflected the interest in our programmes and the importance of working closely with parents and carers.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day a success. We look forward to continuing these conversations and welcoming families to future events!
