Acle Academy is a thriving secondary school for 11-16 year olds, located in the heart of the Norfolk Broads and serving 700 children and their families. We strive to create well-rounded, responsible individuals who seize opportunities, discover their passions and love to learn throughout life. Acle Academy has a strong academic reputation.
For several years, we have been working to "re-float the school boat", raising funds through the school walk and seeking advice and support from members of the local boat restoration community. We are delighted that an exciting new opportunity has now arisen, enabling a small group of pupils to learn traditional boat-building and maintenance skills while working alongside trained professionals at Hunter's Yard in Ludham. The pupils selected for this project have chosen Product Design as one of their option subjects for next year. Mr. Green, Head of Faculty for Creative Industries, felt they would benefit enormously from the experience of working in a professional workshop environment, developing practical skills and techniques that will support their future studies and qualifications. The eight pupils involved have been divided into two groups of four. On alternate Tuesdays, during their double Technology lesson, they travel by minibus to Hunter's Yard to work on Elf, helping to restore this important part of the school's history. We look forward to sharing updates and photographs of their progress over the coming weeks. #acleacademy #huntersyard
