Special Activities Week at Bramcote College
During the final week of the summer term, Bramcote College will organise a special week of activities designed to develop a range of skills, build cultural capital, and create memorable experiences for our students. The typical curriculum will be suspended, allowing students to engage in various activities focused on personal development and career-related skills.
Each year group will have the opportunity to participate in an off-site visit, while other activities will take place within the school. Additional information about the week and the specific activities planned will be provided closer to the time.
