We are sailing.......

In June, The Bourne Academy took part in the 2014 Galliford Try Transformation Trust Sailing Cup and beat eight other schools across the south.

The race was the culmination of a competition which saw schools compete for a place in the final and a chance to win.  Each school received expert tuition from a professional skipper and crew.  The students had the opportunity to learn to sail, develop skills in leadership, resilience, challenge and personal responsibility.

These activities are intended to help young people grow in confidence and self-belief, set their sights higher, encounter good role models and develop skills that will make them more attractive to future employers.

Well done to our sailors...
