Official Openings For Bohunt Wokingham And Bohunt Sixth Form

Earlier this year, students and staff were privileged to welcome world-renowned scientist Professor (Lord) Robert Winston to open Bohunt Wokingham and Bohunt Sixth Form within the space of three weeks.

Lord Winston, who specialises in fertility and stem cell research, officially opened Bohunt Sixth Form in April. The Sixth Form is now in its second year, welcoming its second cohort of Y12 through the doors a couple of weeks ago and anticipating BET’s first A Level results in summer 2019.

Following a speech entitled, ‘Why Bother with Science?’ to Y10 and Y11 students from Bohunt School and TPS, Lord Winston addressed sixth form students and enjoyed an afternoon tea with invited guests, before pulling the ribbon and officially opening the Sixth Form.

BET’s newest and largest building, Bohunt Wokingham, welcomed Lord Winston in May. Bohunt Wokingham opened in temporary accommodation in 2016 and is well on its way to becoming a vibrant and exceptional seat of learning.

After an address, staff and students chatted with Lord Winston over lunch. Lord Winston and Headteacher Ben Godber officially cut the ribbon to open the School, with governors and councillors present. The whole school posed for photographs outside to mark the occasion.
