πŸŒžπŸ’¦ Making a Splash at Alderford Lake! πŸ’¦πŸŒž

Last Friday, we took our amazing Sports Leaders and Ambassadors on a well-deserved rewards trip to Alderford Lake!️

The sunshine was shining, the laughter was non-stop, and the water activities brought out everyone’s adventurous side. From paddleboarding to team challenges, the students gave it their all and even managed to capsize Miss Verrilli and Mr Dobson along the way!

Here’s to more memories next year!

🌍✨ Celebrating Culture and Community at Shrewsbury Academy ✨🌍

What an incredible afternoon we had as our students took centre stage to celebrate their cultural identities through vibrant dance, traditional attire, and delicious heritage foods!

It was more than just a celebration,. it was a powerful reminder of our shared commitment to creating a space where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and everyone feels seen.

Creative Sparks at Mount Pleasant Primary School!

Mrs Everest and Miss Higgins had a brilliant time visiting Year 6 pupils at Mount Pleasant Primary School for an exciting and hands-on Textiles taster session!

The children designed their very own cross-stitched bookmarks, learning key skills like:
πŸͺ‘ Threading a needle
🧢 Tying knots
πŸ“ Following a stitching pattern of their choice

We can’t wait to welcome them to Shrewsbury Academy in September to continue their Textiles journey as part of our vibrant curriculum.
