Blog 17th September 2021

Another busy week in the academy! Our assembly theme was Democracy on Monday which led to classes voting for their Academy Council members. We will announce who was elected next week, and they will have an important role in promoting Pupil Voice. We also continued with our Character Education theme of Caring.
