🗣️ Drama students particiapted in an exciting competition where they were assigned monologues based on famous musical theatre songs. 🎭 Some used creative movement, while others enlisted friends to act as silent characters, enhancing their performances with dynamic interactions.

💼 Year 8 & 9 students explored potential vocations at the London Careers Festival in the Guildhall. 👨‍⚕️ They spoke with professionals from the army, engineering, nursing, and more, engaging in interactive displays and learning about a variety of professions.

💬 We believe in the power of listening as a cornerstone of communication and learning. 👨‍🎓 Our student leaders began training with tasks that encouraged listening and collaboration. 📈 This helps pupils improve their academic performance but also develop essential life skills.

🎆 Teams from each of the six houses worked with their house leaders to bake a cake based on the theme of ‘New Year’. 🍰 There were some decorative designs and wonderful tasting cakes. ⭐️ As well as receiving House points, the winning team also received ‘Star Baker’ badges.

🗳 GCSE Students were invited to sit in the public gallery of the House of Commons and listen to some of the Private Member's Bills being read. 🚆 @ChrisVinceMP spoke to pupils about the future of Harlow including his push for better transport links and investment for hospitals.

We were thrilled to welcome back former student and artist Charlie Dixon, who spent time with GCSE Art students. Through a detailed discussion of his techniques and creative process, Charlie encouraged students to push the boundaries of their artistic expression.

👮 Children and Young People officers (CYP) met with students and offered an opportunity to ask questions or raise any concerns. 🤝 These visits will become a regular occurrence, so students see the police as part of our community and that they are approachable and here to help.

🧑‍🎓 Year 10 students attended @EmmaCambridge to give them an insight into undergraduate education and to answer any questions they had about life at university. 🗡️ Students participated in a critical thinking murder mystery task with their peers in the Old Library.

The Burnt Mill Academy Combined Cadets Force took part in the Lord Mayor’s Show in London. We are proud to be affiliated with The Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights which is one of the 110 Livery Companies of the City of London.

BMA Cadets proudly led the school in our remembrance parade yesterday on Armistice day. The whole school community joined together in an act of remembrance as we laid wreaths at the cenotaph, made by the students in Art club, and heard readings by the cadets.
