One of our key priorities as a school is around the continued championing of equality and diversity, so that all students continue to feel safe and supported here. Today we had a great presentation from Miss Pritchard around this.
Another valuable meeting of our mental health ambassadors this afternoon. Cameron, Kelly and Tyler from Year 11, as well as representatives of other year groups, are making plans for how they can ensure all students in the school feel supported
What a fantastic open evening we’ve had this evening. Thanks to everyone who attended and to our amazing students and staff for their incredible efforts on the night.
We’ve had a fantastic final day, with lots of awards presented in our year group assemblies and all culminating in a wonderful whole school assembly. Now all that remains is wish all of our school community a healthy & happy Summer break

It was great to meet with & congratulate our year 11 students who made the most progress in our recent mock examinations. They have exhibited our school PRIDE values by showing incredible determination and resilience to get to this point. Well done all!
Great to see the TCAT Parliament students this morning engaging in a thoughtful discussion about well-being, an important conversation that will empower and support each other.
It’s important to take time to come together to celebrate as a community even when the world outside is unpredictable.
Thank you to Gill from the canteen for making the cake.

Not the announcement we were expecting year 11 but it’s vital that you carry on working until we know more about how the grades will be decided. We will be here to help and guide you every step of the way. Remember our values TRUST, TEAMWORK and TENACITY!

It’s been lovely to welcome parents/careers and our soon to be Year 7 students to our transition information event this evening. It’s been great to meet everyone and to explain the exciting journey that lies ahead
Photographs from this morning’s History session with Christchurch Primary school. The students were looking at the question “How do we know about the past?” They were looking at ‘poos from the past’ and trying to work out which time period they were from!
Really excited for our first Padgate Academy community lecture!
