EFL Week Of Action 2024: Ryan Longman and Regan Slater engage with our Bishop Burton BTEC Level 1 students

 

The BTEC Level 1 Introductory Diploma in Vocational Studies (Pathways in Sports), delivered in partnership with Bishop Burton College, offers a hands-on learning experience tailored for young people aged 16-18. This programme is designed to support students who have faced challenges with traditional academic subjects, enabling them to pursue their passion for sports while opening doors to a successful career. 

 

Students spend two days of face-to-face learning at the Tigers Trust Arena and one day at Bishop Burton College. The course covers essential topics in sports while also helping students improve their English and Maths skills. Participants also enjoy several benefits, including a free Hull City season pass, a Hull City training kit, and complimentary transport to the college. 

 

Today's exclusive session at the MKM Stadium focused on teamwork, offering students an engaging and memorable experience. A surprise visit from Hull City players Ryan Longman and Regan Slater added excitement as they shared how teamwork is essential both on and off the pitch. Students applied this lesson during a lively team-building activity, constructing the tallest tower using jelly babies and spaghetti. The players also shared personal stories about overcoming challenges in their careers, emphasising the importance of unity and collaboration in achieving success. The session concluded with a dynamic Q&A, where students eagerly participated, displaying their enthusiasm before snapping some selfies with the players.
