Fantastic news this week as we have sent home over 90 emails for Year 9 students who have shown high effort levels this year so far!
Congratulations to all those students!
Wellbeing Ambassadors – Introduction
Our new Wellbeing Ambassadors are now actively supporting our students throughout the academy.
The team is made up of Y13 students who have completed and passed specific training which allows them to work across the whole school.
They are trained to offer advice and practical strategies which builds resilience and confidence for students.
They are a valuable asset to our already proactive wellbeing approach in school.
Students can identify them by their yellow lanyards and they are able to approach them if they have any issues, they are happy to help.
Anti-Bullying Week 2023 – Odd Socks Day
Anti-Bullying Week got started off with Odd Socks Day which saw a wide array of brightly coloured socks and an amazing display of designs for the Odd Socks Competition.
The winners of the Odd Sock competition were presented with their prizes on Thursday, odd socks of course!
Throughout the week, our Community Ambassadors were on hand to collect and organise donations for Branston foodbank.
On Thursday, we delivered a car load of food to the foodbank and our Duke of Edinburgh Community Ambassadors were on hand to put it all away ready for being distributed to local families.
We also received £209 in donations. The foodbank uses this money to buy co-op vouchers so that families have the opportunity to buy fresh foods to go alongside the hampers of non perishable food and products.
We have another load of donations that will be dropped off next week.
Thank you to all of those that donated towards this valuable resource in our local community!

Children In Need 2023 – Bake Sale
Sixth-Form students organised a Bake Sale for Children in Need 2023.
Once again there was an amazing selection of cakes on sale and not a crumb left by the end of morning break.
Thank you to all staff and students who baked or donated cakes for this event.
A special mention for Luke, one of our Year 7 roving Ambassadors for his amazing Pudsey Bear cake – it was delicious.
A total of £278.19 has been raised for Children in Need from the bake sale fundraiser!
