As the summer term continues, exams continue and are now into their final stretch; Year 12 students have completed their A Level exams and started work in preparation of the next academic year, and Year 13 students have one week left before they can finally relax. We wish students all the best in these exams and hope their results reflect all the hard work they have put in over the year.

Our Art Department was recently moderated by Edexcel. Moderators were very impressed with the level of work produced in the department and have recommended the Academy be used as test centre for Art.  This is a fantastic achievement and special congratulations must go to Miss Gika and Miss Holland who greatly contributed to this accomplishment.

Last week also saw the arrival of eight newly-hatched chickens to accompany Helix the Hamster in our Science Department. Students and staff were able to witness the chickens hatch from their eggs and watch their very first steps! Unfortunately, the chickens will leave us this week but in the short time they have been with us, they have already made their mark on the Academy.

Finally, as part of our forthcoming ‘Race for Life’ event on Friday 28^th June, we will be holding a Tombola and are asking parents and local businesses to donate prizes for this. Anything that can be offered, big or small, would be greatly appreciated and will help increase the amount of money the Academy hopes to raise in support of Cancer Research UK.
