We wrapped up the spring term in style today with our Easter livestream! For the last two weeks, the Academy has been buzzing with our Easter Egg-cellence event, with prizes handed out every single day. Vouchers, lunch passes, and plenty of Easter eggs were all up for grabs, and it was brilliant to see so many students rewarded for their hard work.

The first half of our GCSE Geographers headed out to Cotton Dell Nature Reserve today for the first of two planned visits for their river fieldwork. Getting out of the classroom and into the water is a vital part of the course, and today provided the perfect opportunity for students to collect the raw data they need for their upcoming exams.

This week, we held our very first Family Iftar in the school canteen, and it was a truly wonderful evening. With Ramadan currently underway, we wanted to create an opportunity for our families and staff to come together and celebrate the incredible diversity that makes our Academy so special.

Our latest Headteacher’s Achievement Awards have been presented to two brothers who have shown truly exceptional community spirit. Jack in Year 10 and Ethan in Year 9 were recognised this week for their tireless volunteering efforts and their commitment to making a positive difference in our local area.

This week, our First Story participants headed to The Lowry in Manchester for the First Story Writers' Festival. It was a brilliant opportunity for our students to step out of the classroom and join hundreds of other young writers to celebrate the power of the written word.

Last week, our Year 8 and 10 Scholars travelled to London to visit the Royal Opera House for a performance of the classic ballet Giselle. For many of our students, this was a new experience, and it was fascinating to observe their reactions as they arrived at such an iconic venue.
