  • Students tributes to Remembrance Day ​​​​​​​

    Published 14/11/24

    On Monday, the Academy came together to honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who served and continue to serve in the armed forces. 

    As part of our Remembrance Day observance, we held a poignant two-minute silence. During this reflective moment, Doug—one of our talented Year 10 students and also a cadet—played The Last Post to students in the AD block.

    Students in the cadets, Guides, or Scouts were encouraged to wear their uniforms for the day, with a sense of pride and respect for the occasion. Among them, Reuben, proudly dressed in his cadet uniform, dedicated his morning to selling poppies for The Poppy Appeal. He went from classroom to classroom, allowing everyone to contribute to this vital cause.

    We are proud of our students for their respectful participation in this important day of remembrance.

  • Movember: Growing moustaches and starting important conversations ​​​​​​​

    Published 06/11/24

    Five staff members will be participating in the charity event Movember this year. For those who don't know, the aim is to start with a clean-shaven face on November 1st and spend the entirety of the month cultivating a bastion of facial hair—the often maligned moustache. As an added part of the challenge, they will also be running 60km or 60 miles. 

    Why are they doing it? A bit of fun, of course. However, Movember is a charity which concerns itself with prioritising funding for the four biggest health issues facing men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. 

    It primarily gives staff an opportunity to talk to students about the reasons for taking on the challenge and the importance of having the conversations that men so often ignore.

    We’ll be keeping everybody up to date with the latest moustache progress as the month goes on!

    Congratulations to all the Year 7 and 8 students who performed in the Junior Young Musician of the Year competition on Thursday evening. 

    The standard of performance was extremely high, which certainly challenged the judges in their decision-making. There was music for all tastes, ranging from classics like Gerald Finzi’s Forlana to Nina Simone’s Feeling Good. The future is certainly bright, and we are excited about what these performers will produce in the coming months and years. 

    The competition was won by Joey, Year 8, with a confident, expressive and engaging performance of Finzi’s Forlana on the clarinet. The runner-up was Senuli, Year 8, with a captivating performance of I Set Fire to the Rain by Adele.
