Acle Academy

On 7th July, glorious sunshine greeted the Acle Academy students for an action packed day of sporting and athletic activities for Sports Day. The morning got off to a fantastic start with the throwing events taking place whilst other students remained in their forms discussing strategies and finalising competitors for competitions. Following these events, all students came out to the field for the main events. Despite the heat, all students gave 100% effort to try and help their house to become house champions. There were some wonderful team performances in the tug of war and relays, whilst individuals pushed themselves to the limit in the track and jumping events. The day was a huge success thanks to the students who competed and showed great encouragement for all participants, which is our aim and ethos every sports day. The day was summed up by Miss Jarvis who said, "Personally, I thought this was the best sports day ever - and I've been here since 2009!" The overall champions were Thurne with Ant in second, Bure in third and Yare in last position. Well done to all students for your participation and thanks to staff who ran events to make it a great day. Mr. Hurren

We have been made aware that Anglian Water have just requested a further two day extension on the road closure in Lingwood. This affects buses 3A and 3B Students who usually use the Dolphin coaches will not be able to board at the chapel. They should make their way to another stop on the route until the works are complete.

On Thursday 14th July we celebrated the amazing achievements of our pupils this year with our Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 end of year rewards assemblies. Pupils were congratulated and given awards for their work in all subjects across the curriculum as well as Head of House rewards and bespoke SLT character awards. It was a really special occasion for all of those who were involved and every pupil nominated for an award received a certificate and entry to the rewards assembly. We gave away many staff recommended books as prizes for all the achievements. Congratulations to all 166 pupils who took part in the day. Mr. Sayce
