🥕🍰 Healthy Eating in Action – Year 9 Carrot Cakes! 🍰🥕
Our Year 9 Food Technology students have been exploring healthy eating through the Eatwell Plate, with a focus on getting more fruit and vegetables into their diets and what better way than through baking?
This week, they put their learning into practice by making delicious carrot cakes! Students demonstrated safe and effective knife techniques using the bridge and claw grips to prep their carrots before blending them into the mix.
Some students added their own creative twist with currants and a dash of cinnamon for an extra touch of flavour and the results were amazing!
Even better, a few generous bakers shared their cakes with friends, proving that healthy choices can be both tasty and thoughtful.
Well done, Year 9 we’re proud of your skills, creativity, and teamwork!

🌍🏗️ Shaking Things Up in Geography! 🏗️🌍
Our brilliant Year 8 students have been putting their earthquake knowledge to the test - literally! As part of their learning on earthquake mitigation, they’ve been challenged to design and build earthquake-proof structures using just spaghetti and marshmallows! 🍝🟣
This hands-on activity helped students apply their powerful knowledge in a creative and practical way, thinking like real engineers and architects. The buildings are now complete... and the next step? Testing them to see which ones can withstand the shake! 🌐💥
We can’t wait to see which designs stand tall and which ones crumble under pressure! Stay tuned for the results 👀

🎉🏫 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. 🎉
