Year 10 students gained valuable insight into the working world by participating in a comprehensive work experience programme during a week off from their regular lessons. The initiative aimed to provide students with an understanding of various career options and equip them with essential skills for the future.

The school band was pleased to represent the Academy when they performed at the 'Sounds like Teen Spirit' festival, which took place in Phipps' Hall at the Richard Steinitz building, University of Huddersfield.

Year 11 students recently marked the end of their school days at the Academy with a spectacular Gala Ball. The event was hugely successful and greatly enjoyed by the students who took full advantage of the opportunity to dress to the nines and create enduring memories of their high school journey. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and pride as students and members of staff came together to commemorate this significant milestone.

A group of Year 10 students embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime journey, sailing the high seas from Southampton on a week-long voyage, accompanied by Miss Hardy and Mr. Hall.

We have been delighted to host a transformative two-day workshop led by Tender, focusing on fostering healthy relationships amongst secondary school students. The workshop, led by expert facilitators Dean and Liz, aimed to equip students with the necessary skills to build and maintain healthy relationships, identify harmful ones, and enhance their peer mentoring and presentation abilities.

We were extremely fortunate to host Joe and Erin from the University of Leeds Outreach Program, who delivered two bespoke sessions to a group of our Year 11 students.  The topics covered were 'Managing Study Time and How to Revise' and 'Managing Exam Anxiety'.
