St. Matthias and Dr. Bell’s Pupils At The Met

Up to 150 local primary school children visited Bristol Metropolitan Academy to develop their language skills and their taste buds, over the course of a term.

Among the many primaries that visited, St Matthias & Dr Bell’s pupils made Crepes in French lessons in the Academy’s Cookery Design & Technology area. The lesson was a great opportunity to inspire pupils about how useful languages can be and that language has a real practical purpose.

The sessions are part of a programme where the Academy lends its time and expertise to local primary schools to help them deliver their curriculum and give their pupils a new learning experience.

Nigel Cooley, Bristol Metropolitan’s, co-ordinator for these events, said, “These visits are a great way to welcome our colleagues from the primary sector to Bristol Metropolitan Academy. We have a fantastic building and facilities so to be able to share that with the local community is a great positive for us and the primaries we work with.”
