A Special Moment at Acle On Sunday, we were delighted to welcome former students Matt and Sally back to Acle Academy for a very special occasion. They first met as Year 7 students at what was then known as Acle High School and have been together ever since. Wanting to mark the next chapter of their journey together, Matt was keen to return to the school to propose outside the room where they first met all those years ago. We are thrilled to share that Sally said "yes"! We were delighted to help make this special moment possible and to welcome them back to Acle. Congratulations to Matt and Sally from everyone at Acle Academy. We wish them every happiness for the future. #acleacademy
23 JunVisit to Edfords Care Farm Recently, a group of Year 7 and Year 8 students enjoyed a visit to Edfords Care Farm, a fully working farm specialising in organic farming and rare breeds. The students took part in an informative and engaging tour, learning about traditional farming methods, animal care and the journey food takes from the farm to our plates. They also had the opportunity to meet a variety of animals and gain a greater understanding of sustainable farming practices. The visit was both educational and enjoyable, providing students with a valuable insight into life on a working farm. #acleacademy #edfordscarefarm
22 JunYesterday, we said farewell to our Year 11 students at their Leavers' Assembly. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event so special, including the students who performed with their bands, and Alex, who wowed us with a fantastic dance performance. We hope Year 11 enjoyed celebrating together and, of course, enjoyed the leavers' video! A special thank you goes to Mr. Sayce, who is also leaving us this year. Since joining Acle Academy in 2018, he has played a huge role in supporting and guiding our Year 11 students, and we are incredibly grateful for all he has done. Finally, thank you to parents and carers for your continued support throughout your child's journey with us. We wish all of our Year 11 students every success for the future. We look forward to seeing them at Prom tonight and to celebrating their achievements with them again on Results Day. #acleacademy #classof2026
19 JunYear 7 Team-Building Morning at the Nancy Oldfield Trust Earlier this month, twelve Year 7 boys took part in a confidence and team-building morning at the Nancy Oldfield Trust in Neatishead. During the visit, the students learnt how to sail small boats in pairs before completing a kayak journey through the Broads from Barton Pontoon, where the boats were based. For many of the boys, it was their first experience of both the Norfolk Broads and being out on the water. The students embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, demonstrating excellent teamwork, resilience and determination throughout the morning. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and gained valuable confidence through trying new activities. Our sincere thanks go to the Nancy Oldfield Trust for welcoming our group and providing such a fantastic opportunity and facility for our students. #acleacademy #thenancyoldfield
