We feel that the September sunshine has spurred on success in so many aspects of the Academy. Our newest pupils continue to familiarise themselves with their classrooms and environments; there are a lot of happy faces as they leave the hall after lunch so we know they are enjoying trying new foods. Our older pupils are also growing in confidence daily as they build relationships with their new classmates and adults working with them. The video is full of their learning and there have been so many more moments too that it's hard to squeeze them all in.

This Saturday is International Day of Peace. The children reflected on what this means and how it came about in Assembly on Monday. This year's focus is to support continued world peace by focusing upon how we can better support the environment. The children suggested using less plastic, walking more and recycling wherever possible. Our pupils, your children are so focused upon being good citizens that it never fails to make us proud. We hope you can find time within Saturday's inevitably busy schedule to find a small window of peace.
