Yesterday, we took a small amount of year 7’s to Nechells well-being centre where they had the opportunity to experience leadership roles that will support in improving confidence and self-esteem. Some of our students have found the transition from primary to secondary difficult, so this experience was a fantastic gateway to help support with confidence. Our year 7’s got to participate in a variety of activities that required them to socially interact with their peers, including students from other schools. In a few weeks’ time, they will deliver sports activities to primary school students. It was a great day to see students grow in confidence and learn about what makes a good leader.

On Saturday we took 14 lucky students to Twickenham Stadium to watch England take on Japan in the Autumn Nations Series.

If you watched the game you’ll know that England put on a show with 7 tries in a thrilling game winning 52-13! It was the first time going to Twickenham for all students and they had an amazing time with memories that I’m sure will last a long time. The students behaved impeccably and were a pleasure to spend the day with. After the game, the players came out with their little ones and threw out a load of mini rugby balls - two of which were caught by William and Seb and signed by the one and only MANU TUILAGI!!!!

We had the pleasure of welcoming author Cat Weatherill to our Academy on Thursday 30 June 2022.

Cat delivered a storytelling session for all Year 7s students in an extended assembly and the workshops all ran smoothly. The students performed wonderfully with their metaphor writing. ​​​​​​​The workshops covered three themes; an introduction to autobiographical storytelling, cinematic writing and abstract writing.

Participation will have a positive impact on students’ confidence with reading and English skills. Special thanks to our staff for making it a great day too.
