We Are England S2022E71 - Education Educating Blyth

Aaron, Kate, Kaya and Zaki are four engineering students at Bede Academy, Blyth. Despite being at differing stages of development, they are all convinced they will leave school as engineers.

In September 2009, Bede Academy opened in Blyth. The school was formed with an engineering and enterprise specialism in mind, to
complement Blyth's historic industrial roots. Business leaders, such as those working at the Port of Blyth, reach out to Bede Academy and partner up to secure the best and brightest engineering students, who can work on anything from wind turbine installation to subsea drilling.

It is the summer term, with exams looming. We follow Aaron, Kate, Kaya and Zaki, at home, at school and at the workplace, as they endeavour to become the engineers of the future and contribute to Blyth's resurgence as a modern industrial powerhouse.
