We are SO proud of our Bristol Met students for completing our Bristol school scheme and taking on their first 5K at Eastville parkrun. After 9 weeks, 1/3 of our year 10 class ran and walked the distance, and they each did so well. We feel privileged to have spent the last 2 months watching them develop, grow, and find the joy in moving their bodies and being outside together - fundamental things that can be a huge benefit to teenagers.
Thank you to Under Armour for kitting out the students with the important essentials and to Bristol MET Academy for giving us the opportunity! We’re currently planning what a continuation of this project will look like, as the response has been so positive from our students. Watch this space!
