Year 11 students celebrated the end of their time at the Academy with a spectacular Leavers Prom. The event was a tremendous success, with students embracing the opportunity to dress elegantly as they gathered with their peers and members of staff to celebrate this significant occasion, marking the end of their journey through high school.
As students reached the end of Year 9, we hosted our first-ever 'Graduation' event at the Academy to mark their transition to GCSE or BTEC courses, which they will undertake in Years 10 and 11.
