Academy hosts first Regional LSP Vocabulary Competition Final ​​​​​​​

On Tuesday, the Academy hosted the first regional Lighthouse Schools Partnership Vocabulary Competition final, an exciting event designed to test the word knowledge of our students to the max, with three winning prizes up for grabs.

With fifteen students from the Academy, Gordano and Chew Valley School, the students gathered ready to be tested on words such as ‘conjecture’, ‘carburettor’, ‘implacable’ and ‘incongruous’, having to identify the definitions and opposing meanings (antonyms) of each word at lightning speeds. 

Ailidh put in a very respectable performance representing the Academy, securing 7th place in the competition final. Kate and Edward also represented the Academy and performed very well. 

A huge congratulations to Gordano School who managed to secure two of the three winning spots with their students Alex (1st) and Bethan (3rd) and Jacoby from Chew Valley School taking 2nd place. 

It was a truly inspiring event and fantastic to see so many students interested in the power of words!
