Students from the Academy studying Religious Education for the GCSE award had an enriching experience as they posed questions to local faith leaders in an interfaith panel discussion. The event, aimed at broadening students’ understanding of different religious beliefs and practices, welcomed Maulana Farook Yunis, Rev. Chris Hawke, a Methodist minister, and David Currie from Kirklees Interfaith.

A moving candle-lit ceremony was held at the Academy to observe Holocaust Memorial Day, honouring the memory of those who suffered under the Nazi regime. This year’s event has special significance as it marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp.

In a spectacular end-of-term production, Academy students showcased their incredible talent in Fairytale Intertwined. After months of dedication and rehearsals, the students delivered a fantastic performance that captivated an audience of around 100, including parents and staff. The show, which blended classic fairytales in a fresh and exciting way, was met with resounding applause and admiration.

Year 11 students recently enjoyed a captivating performance of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic, A Christmas Carol, presented by some of their own teachers.
