Edie’s First Official Engagement

10th June 2021Mrs D Curtis
Edie was invited into the academy yesterday to meet Lily and her friends, Gracie and Richie.

 

Lily recently donated her beautiful thick curly locks raising over Ā£280 for the Little Princess Trust. As a way to mark her selfless act Mrs Hazeldine, Principal, invited Lily and her two friends to join her for lunch and to meet Edie, our well-being puppy.

 

This was Edie’s first encounter with our students and, whilst chomping through her treats and playing with her toys, she made a lasting impression on Lily and her friends.

Lily Peach donates her beautiful thick curly locks to make someone else happy

9th June 2021Mrs D Curtis
Lily donates her beautiful thick curly locks to generate Ā£260 for the Little Princess Trust to make someone else happy.

 

Growing up and becoming more involved with swimming and football Lily realised her hair was more upkeep than she had time for. Having decided a shorter cut would be more manageable, Lily wanted to donate her hair to someone who was truly in need.

 

Following in her auntā€™s footsteps Lily decided on the Little Princess Trust who provide wigs to children with cancer to restore their confidence and identity.

 

Such a beautiful, kind and caring approach to benefit the life of others. Well done Lily. We are very proud of you and your achievement.

Extraordinary INSET Day: Monday 24th May 2021

18th May 2021Mrs D Curtis

As you may know, all teaching staff are currently committed to marking and moderating all student work for year 11 and year 13. This is in place of formal examinations and is a monumental task for which no additional time has been allocated.

In order to support our teachers in this process the governors have approved an extraordinary INSET day for the purpose of moderation. On this day all students will be working at home. Their usual Monday timetable will be collapsed and they will be working on a whole school project on the theme of unity. More information will be provided to the students in tutor time.
