Bodmin College

A school that has inspired her and prepared her for the future

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Bodmin College and all of the staff who have taught, guided, supported and nurtured our child throughout her time at the College. She has truly thrived and loved her time at Bodmin College. She will always look back on her years there with fond memories and will carry with her the inspiration and encouragement she received from her teachers. The support she has received has helped prepare her for her future goals and dreams, and we will always be grateful for the positive impact Bodmin College has had on her.

Your belief in her helped her believe in herself

As my daughter reaches the end of Year 11, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone at Bodmin College for everything you have done for her throughout her time at the school. Thank you for your unwavering support, encouragement, patience and dedication. Every meeting, conversation and moment spent listening, advising and helping her grow has meant so much to both my daughter and our family. Most importantly, thank you for believing in her, even when she sometimes doubted herself. Your confidence in her abilities helped her develop confidence, resilience and determination. The care, kindness and encouragement she has received have made a lasting difference to her education and personal development. As she moves on to the next chapter of her journey, we will always be grateful for the role Bodmin College has played in helping her reach this point. Thank you for everything you do for your students every day.

From feeling frightened to finding her confidence again

We wanted to take a moment to express how grateful we are for the incredible support the staff at Bodmin College have given our daughter, over the past year. After experiencing significant bullying, her confidence and enjoyment of school were severely affected. However, with the right support and encouragement, she has been able to turn things around. The changes made to her classes and the support she received enabled her to feel safe again and, most importantly, to enjoy learning. A year ago, we could never have imagined seeing our happy, confident girl again. Yet yesterday she was one of just four young people chosen from across the country to sit on a panel in Parliament and answer questions about youth services. She spoke confidently and from the heart. We are incredibly proud of how far she has come. The support from Bodmin College staff, alongside KBSK and our family, has helped her rebuild her confidence and thrive once again. Thank you so much for your continued support and for believing in her.
