A NEW children s hub has been created to take learning outside of school hours in an innovative scheme to make a difference to the lives of young people - and play a key role in helping them recover from the impact of the pandemic. Blackrod Primary School is driving force behind the the creation of BYB@Blackrod, which stands for Be Your Best, which provides young people from four to 18-years-old with activities outside school hours to develop their skills, health and well being and fulfil their potential as well as engaging with their community and environment. Children at the Ofsted rated outstanding school came up with the name and logo for the new hub, which has linked up with a number of arts and culture organisations, including the Octagon Theatre, Bolton Libraries and Museums, Bolton Play and Youth Services and even a PYO Fruit farm in Kent through a collaboration brought together via Leaf Education an organisation set up to bring farming into the classroom.
