Our final episode in the series features an interview with Eva, a recent alumna of The Petersfield School (TPS), who is now continuing her BET journey at Bohunt Sixth Form. Eva is a former Head Girl of TPS and a true game-changer. She worked with the University of Southampton on research into vaping among young people, helping to develop a set of educational resources that were distributed nationally to teachers. These resources support young people in making informed choices about vaping, and the research was later submitted to Parliament, contributing to the development of the Tobacco and Vaping Bill.
In the interview, Eva explains how BET helped her discover who she was beyond academia, building her confidence and independence. With so many opportunities available, she was able to tailor her own journey, supported throughout by the unwavering encouragement of her teachers. Eva is a testament to everything BET stands for and to our vision that the highest expectations, an ethos of Enjoy, Respect, Achieve, unparalleled opportunity, and highly effective teaching combine to develop students who are true ‘game-changers’.
