This half term, Mrs Mainey took some of our sixth form Biology students to Science Live! They were greatly inspired by @ProfRWinston and the many other speakers. #TSASciSquad

The year 7 Netball team played in their second Netball Festival last week against other St Helens schools, losing 2 and winning 2 matches. Well done to all girls involved on their excellent perseverance and teamwork skills. ��

Following on from the success of the Christmas jumper days over the last few years, we will be continuing the tradition on the last day of this term. Staff and students will be asked to wear their best (or worst) Christmas jumpers in exchange for £1, which will be donated towards this years chosen charity. This year we have chosen to donate all proceeds to a charity that is close to The Sutton Academy. In particular one of our students. Tyler Turner's (Y12) younger sister Kaycee, has been battling Battens disease all of her life. Battens Disease is a rare neurological condition that begins in childhood and currently has no known cure. Limited funding means that support for the families can be scarce, so any additional support can make a huge difference. To help raise awareness of the disease a group of local singers, including ex TSA students Jack Bennett (Stillia) and Kiera Weathers (X factor), have released a Christmas charity single named The Fairytale of St Helens. All proceeds of the single will go towards supporting Kaycee and her family. Please have a look at the link below for more information and a video of the single. https://www.saintsrlfc.com/2018/11/20/the-fairytale-of-st-helens/

Our Student Leadership Team would like your help in aid of the Teardrops charity. They would like each form group to aim to fill a gift bag with as many of the items from the attached lists. If you want to fill more than one, that would be amazing!
