🎉🏫 Shrewsbury Academy Celebrates the Opening of New State-of-the-Art Facilities! 🏫🎉
We are thrilled to announce the official opening of our brand-new, cutting-edge facilities including modern science laboratories, a fully equipped library, and innovative design and technology classrooms. This incredible transformation has been made possible thanks to funding from the Department for Education and the outstanding work of Tilbury Douglas. 🙌
This investment marks a major milestone for our school and the wider community, providing our students with the high-quality learning environment they truly deserve. 🌟
🗣️ Ryan Jervis, Chair of Governors, shared:
"This part of Shrewsbury has been underfunded for many years. While buildings alone do not educate children, this is a massive vote of confidence in our community and a clear sign that this school continues to move forward."
🗣️ Jim Taylor, Headteacher, added:
"These facilities reflect our best intentions and highest expectations for our children and young people. We are relentlessly ambitious for every single young person here, and they deserve nothing less."
We were also honoured to welcome local MP Julia Buckley MP who praised the school’s progress and spirit:
"The nurturing environment, the teamwork, and the belief that every child matters is tangible. Please, feel as special as you are and be proud of what’s happening at Shrewsbury Academy."
This is more than just a new building, it’s a new chapter for education in Shrewsbury. A chapter filled with hope, ambition, and opportunity for every child and young person in our care. 💙

🔬🪨 Year 7 Rocks Science and Design Challenge! 🪨🔬
Year 7 students at Shrewsbury Academy have been busy combining science and creativity in a fascinating challenge: designing a new statue for Shrewsbury of Charles Darwin, the famous scientist known for his love of rocks and fossils! 🪨🌍
The challenge? To create a statue carved from an attractive, colourful hard rock that would stand the test of time and not react to rain or snow! 🌧️❄️
The class got hands-on, testing igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks to discover their properties. They even tested how rocks react with acid, some sedimentary rocks bubbled and fizzed, releasing carbon dioxide and a salty slime! (Definitely not statue material!) 🤔
After careful analysis and a final vote, they selected a beautiful pink, white, black, and silver grey granite, perfect for their statue of Darwin! 🏛️
Year 7 Science rocks — literally! Well done to all involved for your hard work and brilliant teamwork. 🎉

🥣 Year 9 Cooking Up Healthy Choices with the Eatwell Plate! 🍎👩🍳
Our Year 9 students have been putting nutrition knowledge into practice in their recent food technology lessons using the Eatwell Plate as inspiration to bake tasty treats with a healthy twist!
From fruit flapjacks and apple crumbles to Dutch apple cakes and fruity muffins, students explored how sweet recipes can still support a balanced diet. By incorporating fresh fruit, fibre, and energy-rich carbohydrates, they learned how to make informed food choices while developing key cooking skills. 🍏🧁🌾
It was a fun, hands-on way to understand the principles of healthy eating and enjoy the rewards of their hard work in the kitchen!
