Lights, camera, action!
Several of our students have made their acting debuts by supporting The Shore to create a professional and informative video showcasing our dedicated Year 7 building. It was a fantastic opportunity, with our students being both professional and engaging, whilst having great fun. Who knows, we may even have a few future Hollywood stars in our midst!

Sport Vs Belonging ⚽
Our recent 5‑a‑side football tournament was a brilliant reminder of how sport brings people together. The teamwork, encouragement, and positive energy on show were outstanding, with students supporting one another every step of the way.

Events like this help build confidence, connection, and a real sense of belonging, and our students were amazing ambassadors for that spirit. Well done to everyone who took part!

⚡ STEAM Club fun at Shrewsbury Academy ⚡

Our STEAM Club members had great fun exploring static electricity by rubbing a balloon against hair. They learned how electrons transfer from the hair to the balloon, creating opposite charges that attract and make hair stand on end. A brilliant hands‑on way to understand electron transfer, friction and forces in action.

The learning did not stop there. Students also explored the origin of the word “ecstatic,” discovering its Greek roots meaning to displace or move out of place, which felt very fitting given the hair‑raising results. Plenty of curiosity, laughter and memorable learning, and some very “hairlarious” outcomes 😄

🌍 Learning beyond the classroom at Shrewsbury Academy 🌍

Our Year 8 students have been working with letters from our partner school in Argentina, developing their understanding of global connections and communication. During the lesson, they also learned about seasonal food and how this can differ around the world, sparking some great discussion and curiosity.

A lovely example of cultural learning and wider world awareness in action 😊

🔬 Brilliant science learning at Shrewsbury Academy 🔬

Our Year 9 students have been demonstrating real expertise in the science lab. They confidently used Bunsen burners to melt ice and boil water, graphing heating and cooling while showing excellent recall of states of matter and key processes like melting and freezing.

They also tackled a complex investigation to find the optimum pH for the enzyme amylase. Using buffer solutions, starch and iodine, they carefully measured how quickly the starch broke down, making a challenging practical look easy through focus, teamwork and strong scientific understanding.

A fantastic example of curiosity, resilience and a love of STEM. Well done, Year 9 👏

Students at Shrewsbury Academy have been developing their Travel and Tourism skills through a creative and engaging project 🌍🎥

They researched each destination in detail and planned imaginary TikTok videos designed to encourage tourists to visit emerging destinations such as Albania, Georgia and Colombia. Students demonstrated what they would include and say in their promotional content, before presenting their ideas to the class and explaining how their videos would appeal to potential tourists.

Here are our STEAM Club members enjoying some marvellous modelling while learning some brilliant chemistry 🧪✨

Students explored how monomers are small units that can join together to form polymers. They learned that sometimes the monomers are the same, such as ethene forming polythene, and sometimes they are different, like amino acids linking together in our bodies to form proteins. The sequence of these amino acids is determined by DNA, with the human body containing over 100,000 different proteins carrying out vital functions.

Students modelled the compound ethene, made from carbon and hydrogen, before linking their monomers together to create the polymer polythene. They also made their own colourful water beads, known as orbeez, which are made from a superabsorbent polymer called sodium polyacrylate.
