A visit to STEMfest Leeds was a fantastic success, with all of our students having an enjoyable, inspiring and memorable day. The event provided an excellent opportunity for students to experience STEM beyond the classroom and see how science, technology, engineering and mathematics are applied in everyday businesses and industries.
A group of our Year 9 and 10 students from the Academy took part in our annual Sailing Trip - and what an adventure it was!
A group of students from the Academy were thrilled to embark on a trip to London, which turned out to be a fantastic experience from start to finish. Travelling by train before navigating the Tube into the heart of the city gave students a taste of London's famous transport network.
Year 11 students officially marked the end of their studies in secondary education with a spectacular leavers’ prom, gathering to celebrate the past five years that they had spent at the Academy.
Our production of Matilda Jr the Musical was nothing short of spectacular—a true celebration of talent, teamwork, and determination across our school community.
A group of students from the Academy were most enthusiastic to take part in an educational youth event at Dewsbury Fire Station. West Yorkshire Fire Service ran a Targeted Intervention Day with their Youth Interventions Team, called 'Sharp Response'. The purpose of the day was to educate and inform students about the consequences of anti-social behaviour and its effect on the emergency services and the community.
We were delighted to host our first-ever Community Eid Lunch at the Academy, where we were greatly pleased to welcome a wide range of guests from the local community to celebrate this special occasion.
