The High Weald Academy

I'm fundraising for Comic Relief. Check out my @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/hi…

Mr Cooper has had a busy weekend with the arrival of more lambs. I was also fortunate to see the arrival of this little lamb today!

We are very proud of Mr Cooper for winning so many prestigious prizes at the South Eastern Prime Stock Winter Fayre and the Ashford Cattle Show. Mr Cooper competed against many Farmers and despite the competition, was awarded Supreme Champion Sheep 2021 amongst many other prizes

Just a reminder... HWA is closed to students tomorrow (Friday 26th November) for staff training (INSET DAY).

HWA are excited to join in the fundraising spirit tomorrow (Friday) and have declared a non-uniform day in return for £1 donation. Students will also have the opportunity to throw custard pies at our brave volunteers in our organised lunch time event!

Class Year 9W produced some excellent work during their art lesson today where they tried their hands at mono printing. A special well done to Cohen Charles - a great first effort.

Congratulations to all our Year 11's on your amazing G.C.S.E results today. We are all really proud of you, well done!

Year 10 students are working from home creating deliciously good photography work!

What an amazing Sports Day HWA! The event of the day was the epic tug of war between students and teachers. House points are being counted and winner announced Monday. More photo's to follow!

We are all looking forward to Sports Day tomorrow! Just a reminder to wear your PE Kit or house colours to school and to bring lots of water! School hours and registration as normal. 😊

Just to remind you that the school is closed to Students today as it is Inset/CPD day for staff. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

EURO2020 Update: Only 10A has only 1 team left and only 9B has all 3 still there! The Round of 16 starts this week: Wales-Denmark, Italy-Austria, Netherlands-Czech Republic, Belgium-Portugal, Croatia-Spain, France-Switzerland, England-Germany, Sweden-Ukraine

We are very sad to say goodbye to the Year 11’s this week. Emotions were high today as they celebrated their end of year with sports activities, shirt signing and BBQ lunch before ending the day with a celebration assembly. We wish them all the best for the future. ☘️

There is a buzz in the air at The High Weald Academy as Euro 2020 kicks off tomorrow! Staff and Tutor Groups have been entered into the draw. I have a feeling it is going to get competitive over the coming weeks! Follow the games here - uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/

We are feeling blessed with the wild flowers that have suddenly appeared at The High Weald. Mr Cooper and the Site Team have worked hard to make our grounds look lovely, thank you.

Just a reminder that the school is closed to students today as it is Staff CPD/ Inset Day. Enjoy the long weekend and we will see you all Monday!

Year 8’s are learning to use toning and shading in their art lessons this week. Yoanna Cherneva demonstrated this beautifully with the piece of art work she created.

Thank you to all the students who made food donations before the Easter Break in return for wearing own clothes. Nourish were thrilled with our 97.8kg of donations 😇

Our Year 9 girls have impressed Mrs Coleman this week in their Javelin lesson. Although they have missed a  year of practice due to lockdown, their lesson was the highest success rate in javelin throws Mrs Coleman has ever experienced at HWA.
