What a wonderful new addition to our Reception area! The Remembrance piece is a whole Academy effort with each class from Reception to Year 11 contributing to the collection!

Some of our Key Stage 3 students leaving the Academy this morning for their school trip to @Flag_Fen ! We can not wait to hear all about it on their return!

For World Mental Health day & harvest students & families made donations to the Academy's Food bank!We were over whelmed by all of the donations! Not only were donations of dried & tinned food received but also essential toiletries! Thank you Medeshamstede families!
