Avonmouth community work and Weston safety warning put local sites in focus

Two education-related reports this week highlight different ways schools and universities in Avonmouth and Weston-super-Mare are engaging with local communities and places. UWE Bristol’s engineering blog reflected on a weekend of community engagement in Avonmouth, saying connections and opportunities had continued beyond the events, and noting the university joined Avonmouth CE Primary School earlier in the year [1]. Separately, the Weston Mercury reported that Bournville Primary School in Weston-super-Mare sent an ‘important safety message’ to parents about urban exploring after a recent incident at the Grand Atlantic Hotel [2]. Read together, the reports show educational institutions responding to their surroundings in different ways: UWE Bristol through community and skills pathways in Avonmouth, and Bournville Primary School through a warning about urban exploring after an incident at the Grand Atlantic Hotel.
