[BePART](http://www.bsfc.ac.uk/BePARTprogramme) (Be Positive, Ambitious, Resilient, Thoughtful) is a six-week scheme, specially devised by experts in the field in our Psychology department, and helps students develop traits and techniques to assist mental wellbeing. > ***“I’ve not seen anything like it before; it’s a real innovation."*** > > **Frank Field MP** With a basis in proven science and other methods with empirical evidence to support their effectiveness, the BePART programme was first implemented earlier this academic year for all 700+ new first year students. The BBC crew filmed a BePART session in action, where Psychology teacher and driving force behind the scheme, Roy Owen, taught students relaxation techniques, some of which have had students reporting increasing their nightly sleep to a healthy eight hours rather than five or six beforehand. Individual students were then interviewed about their experiences and the benefits they have felt since taking part in the sessions, before Deputy Principal Mike Kilbride stepped in front of the camera for his turn. All will be revealed about the TV show next month before it airs on BBC1! ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3633.jpg) ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3651_(1).jpg) ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3615.jpg) ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3681.jpg) ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3637.jpg) ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3644.jpg) ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3657.jpg) ![](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/images/IMG_3665.jpg) *Category: **[College Life](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog/category/college-life)*** - [ previous](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog/2017-02-22-11-43-15-equality-diversity-meeting-02-03-17) - [next ](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog/2017-03-02-11-27-28-bsfc-celebrates-world-book-day-20-with-shelfies) --- ### Leave a Reply ### [Latest News](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news) [![Image of Halloween Fest brings spooky fun to College](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/750x480c/news/Halloween_Fest_26_-_Photo_Montage.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2026-10-26-halloween-fest-brings-spooky-fun-to-college) 26 October 2026 #### [Halloween Fest brings spooky fun to College](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2026-10-26-halloween-fest-brings-spooky-fun-to-college) ### [Upcoming Events](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/events) [![Image of Open Evening](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/750x480c/events/Edited_Top_3.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/events/2026-11-26-open-evening) 26 November 2026 #### [Open Evening](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/events/2026-11-26-open-evening) ### [Blog](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog) [![Image of Students Secure 3rd Place in Merseyside Police Cyber Challenger 2025](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/750x480c/blog/IMG_0394.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog/2025-03-06-10-26-00-students-secure-3rd-place-in-merseyside-police-cyber-challenger-2025) 6 March 2025 #### [Students Secure 3rd Place in Merseyside Police Cyber Challenger 2025](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/blog/2025-03-06-10-26-00-students-secure-3rd-place-in-merseyside-police-cyber-challenger-2025) [Tweets by BSFC](https://twitter.com/BSFC) ![Top 3](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Top_3_Footer.jpg) ![Educate Awards - Most Inspirational Sixth Form](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Most_Inspirational_Winner_-_Banner_Rounded_Corners(1).jpg) ![Educate North College of the Year 2023](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/College_of_the_Year_Badge_-_Banner.jpg) [![Ofsted](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Ofsted_Outstanding_OP_Colour.png)](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50248883) [![TES Shortlist](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/For_Website_Partner.jpg)](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/2018-02-26-college-wins-national-sixth-form-college-of-the-year-award) [![Quality in Careers](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Quality_in_Careers_Standard_-_JPEG.jpg)](https://www.qualityincareers.org.uk/) ![CE Certified](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/new_ce_badge.png) [![Sixth Form Colleges Association](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/SFCA.jpg)](http://www.sixthformcolleges.org/) ![AoC](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/Without_Border.jpg) [![Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/partners/DofE-logo-gunmetal-full-RGB_(504x800)_(403x640).jpg)](http://www.dofe.org/) ![Birkenhead Sixth Form College](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/logo/logo-white(2).png) © Copyright 2011–2026 Birkenhead Sixth Form College All rights reserved. **Birkenhead Sixth Form College** Park Road West, Claughton Wirral, Merseyside, CH43 8SQ Tel: 0151 652 5575 Email: School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
