In the photo below you can see our YBC football team proudly wearing their new kit kindly sponsored by CGI. In September 2023 we held a competition at YBC in memory of the sad passing of staff member Huw Wright where pupils had the opportunity to design the new football kit that we would then look to create for the team. The winning design for the kit was created by pupil Jayden Locke who is extremely proud to have been able to play his role in the kit creation. Jayden said of his design “I tried to keep the design quite simple and use the colours of YBC to make sure the kit represents the school”. He also added that “I am very proud that my design was chosen”. Finally, all at YBC would like to extend their thanks to CGI for their support in sponsoring this kit.
We had a very exciting visit from Dinomania on 20/09/24. We couldn't believe it when a dinosaur egg hatched right before our eyes!
