  • Bourne Academy Makes PPE Clips for Key Workers

    Published 24/04/20

    The Bourne Academy is proud to announce that its staff have been using their time and resources to help NHS and front-line care workers.

    The Bourne Academy responded to an online call to make clips for the NHS workers to take the stress off the back of the ear from face masks which are having to be worn at all times in medical and care environments – the clips hold the elastic off the back of the ear to stop rubbing.

    These clips were laser cut from sheet polymer in the Academy’s Engineering classrooms, and have been welcomed by key workers from our local NHS Trust.

    Mike Dunn, Director of Engineering at The Bourne Academy says “The team at the Bourne Academy have been delighted to help those on the front line who are struggling with PPE. The tension release band was requested by a local NHS trust and we’ve posted out 300 in the past week. It’s been a team effort and a small token of thanks to front line key workers working incredibly difficult shifts.”

    So far, staff from The Bourne Academy have delivered these clips to local care homes and a team of community midwives.

  • Bourne Academy Hosts Online Concerts Amid UK Lockdown

    Published 22/04/20

    Talented musical students at The Bourne Academy are hosting lockdown Rock Concerts online.

    When the UK Government announced school closures, The Bourne Academy music team decided that this would not stop musical performances for their students. The Academy was due to have held six concert performances before the end of the academic year, but with social distancing measures in place for the foreseeable future, the events have not been able to take place in the traditional sense, so a decision was taken to host a concert online via Facebook Live.

    During the Easter Holidays, students rehearsed and recorded musical performances from their homes. The videos were then put together by staff to create a concert which was streamed online on Tuesday night. The video reached almost 1000 views in the first hour and lead to many more engagements and positive comments from the Academy community.

    The project is called the ‘Rockdown Sessions,’ it gives a brilliant opportunity for students to continue developing their performance skills while in lockdown and a chance to share their work with families, staff and peers. The music department was inundated with so many performance videos that they will be hosting a second concert on Thursday night.

    Head of Visual and Performing Arts, David Mastrocola says ‘’We are all incredibly proud of the students for taking part in what has been a very difficult time for all of us. Hopefully these concerts will give the students and their parents a degree of escapism for a couple of hours where they can enjoy watching themselves and their peers perform.’’

    Part 1 of the ‘Rockdown Sessions’ can be viewed on The Bourne Academy Performing Arts Facebook page. Part 2 will be streamed on Thursday 23 April at 7pm.
