A huge thank you to @HolocaustUK for coming in and giving our @AlcesterAcademy students such a fantastic opportunity to learn, reflect and engage. We are incredibly proud of the way our students demonstrated our school values throughout the experience.

It’s been an incredible experience for our @AlcesterAcademy Year 9 pupils visiting 4 different places of worship. A beautiful cultural experience that we were very lucky to participate in. Thankyou to each Faith for welcoming us with open arms. #Culture #Diversity

How lucky as a history teacher to have the rich history of @Coughton_Court on our doorstep, and how lucky are our @alccesteracademy students, who in July will immerse themselves in an enrichment day there. Lessons, activities… exciting!

Today thanks to Magnus & Barbara @Coughton_Court and @AlcesterAcademy solidified their shared mission to engage young people with history in powerful and lasting ways.

Valentine’s Day has ancient roots. ❤️ From the Roman festival of Lupercalia to the legend of St Valentine, said to have secretly married couples against an emperor’s orders, today’s cards began with rebellion & ritual Love has a history. 📜 #History #ValentinesDay #OnThisDay

Holocaust Memorial Day. As part of our @AlcesterAcademy GCSE History trip, we visit and reflect. It never gets easier. We remember the Holocaust, and the genocides that have followed, and why remembrance still matters and why it must be taught in our schools.

When we say we love bringing History and Geography to life, we’re committed! A brilliant first @AlcesterAcademy Local History and Geography Day, thank you to everyone who took part. Year 7 for being so engaged. Special thanks to the @HighBailiff for coming in! What a day 😍

Coming up in History @AlcesterAcademy Year 7: Life in the Middle Ages Year 8: The First World War Year 9: Industrial Britain & modern medicine Year 10: The Holocaust & the Korean War Year 11: Threats to Elizabeth I

Mrs Sandells and Miss Bishop joined forces for a very festive year 8 tutor party with plenty of fun and karaoke 🎤 Wishing everyone in our @AlcesterAcademy community a very Merry Christmas!

This week Miss B and Mr R took @AlcesterAcademy Year 11 mock revision to a whole new level -factors on the tables and students filling the space with everything they know. Interactive, engaging, and seriously thought-provoking revision (don’t worry, it washes right off!)

Got to love a shield wall!

Superb @AlcesterAcademy Saturday School turnout yesterday and truly exemplary conduct from our students. Keep making history with your hard work and attitude! 🌟 #ProudTeacher

@AlcesAcad_TandL @AlcesterAcademy We had some wonderful discussions and exit tickets about this in todays session.

Our @AlcesterAcademy Year 7’s have been learning all about what respect looks like, sounds like and feels like as part of their Character Education through PD. We are proud that our curriculum allows pupils to truly thrive. Well done to all for their fantastic work today. ❤️

On #RemembranceSunday, @AlcesterAcademy we remember not only the soldiers and civilians affected by war, but also the animals who carried, comforted, and served alongside them. We will remember them all. 🌺🐴🐕

Hope you enjoyed the fireworks! 🎆 @AlcesterAcademy But do you know why we celebrate 5th November? It marks the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and others tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. With very close ties to @Coughton_Court!
