We look forward to welcoming visitors this evening to our Art Showcase event. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the amazing creative talents our students have at the academy. There will be work on display from all year groups, and a small awards presentation will take place at 6:30 pm. There will also be performances from music, dance and drama students throughout the evening and the food department will be providing refreshments during the evening.

Today a group of our students are going to the PiXL Awards Ceremony at Hope Academy. Congratulations to them all for all their hard work and commitment to the award.

Day Three of our Sports Week - students in Year 9 & 10 formed teams of six to compete in our Nitro Games. Today we have our Disability Awareness Day were students are invited to take part in alternative activities to raise their awareness of what is on offer to them if they have or in the future suffer from a physical disability.

Day Two of our Sports Week - Our students returned from a very competitive Town Sports Athletics competition. We achieved 5 silver and 3 bronze medals from both the track and the field events. All students that participated gave a really good account of themselves and the medal haul doesn't reflect just how much effort they put into their events. We did have some really stand out performances - Neve Eaton in the shot put and discus, James Rice stepping up to cover a multitude of events in the senior competition, and Tom Ahearn who broke a long standing school high jump record with a leap of 1m 63 cm!

Great News!! Following the success of our STEM project at regional level we have received an email to say that Engineering UK, the judges and staff from the Big Bang NW were so impressed with our project, that we have been put through to the National Finals in March 2020!

Day one of our Sports Week and students from Year 7-10 have been taking part in our Sutton's Got Steel individual endurance challenge. Events such as shoot the hoop, cycling, an assault course, and one lap of the track to complete the challenge. Well done to all our students who took part.
