We’re at the Meet the Provider event at Bristol City Hall today! 👋

If you’re here too, come and say hello to the Reflections Training team!

💗 We’re wearing pink on Friday 23rd October! 💗

We’re getting involved in Wear It Pink this October to help raise money for Breast Cancer Now, and we’d love our learners and staff to get involved too.

Friday 23rd October is the main day, and we’d love to see everyone going all-out in pink! 💗

Not in college on Friday? No problem. You can wear pink any day from Monday 19th to Friday 23rd October.

If you’re taking part, please bring a £1 donation to Reception.

No pressure, just plenty of pink and a chance to raise some money for a great cause.

Let’s see how much pink we can get around the academy! 💗

Our Reflections Ambassador Programme has been running for around 5 years, giving learners a real opportunity to influence their experience with us.

And it’s not just about giving feedback. Over the years, our Ambassadors have helped us make real changes, including shaping and improving our curriculum through our You Said, We Did feedback.

So, what does being an Ambassador involve?

✨ Be elected by your tutor
✨ Attend an Ambassador meeting every 3 months
✨ Share your ideas, feedback and what matters to learners
✨ Help shape future changes at Reflections
✨ Get £20 for every meeting you attend

It’s your education, so if there’s something you think we could do differently, better or more of, we want to hear it.
