Inspiring the Future: Welcoming Co-op Academy Grove

We had a fantastic day last week when we welcomed Year 5 students from Co-op Academy Grove to our school. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. Their energy and enthusiasm were incredible, and it was a joy to have them exploring everything our Academy has to offer.
The students really made the most of their time with us, diving into a range of activities across our music, drama, and art departments. Whether they were performing, creating, or discovering new stories in our library, their talent and curiosity were clear to see. It was a brilliant opportunity for them to get a taste of life at secondary school and to use some of the fantastic facilities we have here.
What stood out most was how well they demonstrated the qualities of MAGIC learners. They showed real maturity and a positive attitude throughout all their sessions. Seeing such a dedicated group of young people engaged in their learning was a real highlight for our staff.
We had a wonderful time hosting them and are already looking forward to hopefully seeing many of them join our Academy family in 2027. A huge well done to all the Year 5s for being such brilliant visitors!
