Sixth Form Activities Week 2026
It was lovely to round off the year with a week of activities aimed at promoting wellbeing and resilience in the Sixth Form. On Monday we took advantage of the glorious weather on our wellbeing walk along the coast path to Conwy where we enjoyed a picnic and games on Bodlondeb. Tuesday saw the arrival of the British Army who put us through our paces with problem solving, leadership and team-building activities. On Wednesday we welcomed author Sophie Duffy, from the Royal Literary Fund, who helped us with our essay planning and writing skills after which Jude Nicholls, from SEREN, gave us advise about how best to prepare applications for top universities. In the afternoon we then did some plant pot painting and a family budgeting challenge. Finally, yesterday saw our visit to Bodnant Gardens to enjoy the beautiful grounds and tranquillity.

What an experience for some of the Zestee team yesterday. They visited No.10 Downing Street to discuss their journey and the need for enterprise opportunities with James Carroll, the Business Special Adviser to the UK Prime Minister. They also had an exclusive tour of No.10! Everyone got to sit in the famous White State Drawing Room chair 🇬🇧 Huge thank you/diolch o galon to Young Enterprise for all the opportunities they have provided - let’s see what’s next!

Peek into Activities Week Day 1: Blwyddyn 9 spent the day in design technology and art, where they took and edited portraits, coded games and participated in arts and crafts. Blwddyn 10 spent the day creating a perfume business and the winners from each group were chosen to present in front of the year group. We were extremely impressed with the quality of their pitches. Blwyddyn 8 spent the day in humanities exploring religious traditions and completing an escape room.
Huge congratulations to our amazing Zestee team who competed against 39 other European teams in the Gen E competition in Riga last week! Although they missed out on a trophy this time they had an incredible experience! They represented YJB and community with great skill, innovation, professionalism and team work. We are so proud of you! ⭐
The last Parent/ Carer Drop in Session for this academic year is on Monday.
YJB Sixth Form Taster Days
After over 40 taster lessons over three days, and some really interesting talks from students, staff and guest speakers, this year's Sixth Form taster days have come to a close. We think that it's really important that students get to 'try before they buy' - choosing a Sixth Form, and which courses to take, is a significant decision - which is why we offer three full days of taster lessons! It has been great to welcome so many students from other schools this week as they find out what makes YJB such a special place to study, and one of the top 9% private and state Sixth Forms / colleges in Wales. The students particularly enjoyed the session where the outgoing Year 13 students shared their top tips. Their honesty, wisdom and good advice was so inspiring. If you'd like to find out more about our Sixth Form, or arrange a visit, please email c.davies@johnbright.uk
The u16 Athletics team represented Eryri yesterday at the Welsh Schools Final in Brecon yesterday in extremely hot conditions. There were some standout performances including Sienna, who won the 200m and Julia, who won the 300m. Da iawn genod!
Good luck to Zestee tonight in their Gala evening in Riga! Fingers crossed 🤞 🍊
