Last week, our fearless Bronze D of E team had their practice adventure at Linnet Clough, braving the rain! They all finished with smiles on their faces, and Mr. Robinson said they were an awesome group! Now, they’re all looking forward to the real thing this week. Good Luck!

We would like to wish all our families celebrating a blessed Eid al-Adha.

Last Wednesday, a group of our Sixth Form students attended a mock assessment centre at Shrigley Hall! It was a wonderful opportunity for them to learn all about the recruitment process for Apprenticeships, and the best ways to prepare and apply!

Every one of our students gave it their all, and lots of them got personal best results! A special mention for Phoebe who has qualified for the National competition and the Year 8 girls relay team who got silver medals! Well done to everyone - we are so proud of you!

Shout out to our incredible sixth form team and students for pulling off an awesome Pyjama Day last Friday, all for a great cause - Children in Need! Together, they raised an impressive £115.66, and we couldn't be prouder of their generosity and spirit!

A few weeks ago, the Art department took the Year 10 Art groups to The World Museum and The Walker Gallery in Liverpool, to source information for their natural form and portrait projects! 🎨 Well done Year 10 - it sounds like you had an amazing time!😁

On this occasion they didn't make it to the final but the girls were delighted with their performances. We are so proud of them!

The girls ran fantastically well on what turned out to be a very dry course. Although the majority of the course was flat the organisers had managed to find a number of short, sharp hills to get the heart rate racing!

Great result for Knutsford Academy's Cross Country running team! 📷 Four year 7 & 8 students travelled to Bromsgrove in Worcester a few weeks ago to represent school in the English Schools Cross Country Regional Final.
