Acle Academy

On 16th June, the PE department ran an inspirational trip to 'the home of cricket', Lord's Cricket Ground. The students watched the T20 Blast match between Middlesex and Surrey and were lucky enough to see wonderful cricket played with many England internationals such as Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan. The students had a fantastic experience in such an iconic venue.

The school has been lucky enough to have the PAT dogs in school since September. Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity that enhances the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in the community across the country. Students have had the opportunity to see these beautiful dogs in school and enjoy the calming presence they bring. It is a time for students to reflect and have time in a calm atmosphere, away from the classroom and has proved successful and very popular with many students and staff.

On Monday 13th and Wednesday 15th June, we accompanied ten sports leaders to Freethorpe for their primary cluster cricket events. The students were involved in umpiring, coaching and scoring for the younger children's matches. Cluster Sports Leader John Grayson commented saying, "The Sportsleaders you sent to the cricket were excellent, many thanks," with other staff commenting that they were a credit to the school. Acle Academy supports the primary cluster in all of their sports events including the football, multi-skills, netball, cricket and athletics.

Congratulations to Alice, Kaydan, Logan, Rilie, Sophie, Daniel, Robert, Darren and Jimmy for their Star of the Week nominations.

On Thursday 23rd June we laughed, cried and celebrated with our Year 11 cohort of 2022. We hope you enjoyed your final day at Acle Academy and we hope that the leavers' assembly did your amazing year group justice for all that you have brought to the academy over the past 5 years. We wish you all the best for the future and hope that you stay in contact. We look forward to seeing you on Friday 1st July for the prom and again at Results Day on August 25th. Good luck to you all on your next steps and remember how proud we are of all of you.

Thank you to all the Year 10s who applied to be Senior Prefect - you have once again proven how dedicated and hardworking you are as a cohort of pupils. A record number of pupils applied to be Senior Prefect this year so the senior leadership team had some tough decisions to make. Congratulations to our new team of 30 enior prefects! We were so overwhelmed by the sheer quality of the applications we had and we look forward to working with you all to improve core aspects of the school via our service areas. We are proud of you all and we hope that you will wear your ties and badges with pride. Updates to follow soon in relation to pupils who have applied for our Head Student positions!

Key Stage 3 students participated in a one-off lesson all about the Queen, her reign and the Platinum Jubilee. Their knowledge of the monarch was put to the test and they used historical sources to develop this knowledge even further!
