• School Games GOLD Mark Award

  Thu 27 Jul 2023

  We are delighted to announce that we, The King's Church of England Academy have achieved the School Games GOLD Mark Award for the 2022/23 academic year. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. 

   

  With a total of 403 young people competing in local inter-school competitions and extra-curricular clubs this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
   

  

• Year 6 Transition Week

  Mon 10 Jul 2023

  Over the last 2 weeks, Year 6 students joining us September have attended a transition week. The students were able to participate in a variety of lessons and become more familiar with the academy building as well as the staff. The students were brilliant, and thoroughly enjoyed the week. We are really looking forward to welcoming them into our school community in September.

  We also had some brilliant feedback from parents;

   

  "I think the whole transition was amazing it was nice for them to go 4 days to get to know teachers and learning her way around the school"

   

  "From the outside as a parent it appeared well organised with appropriate timings given to students. There was a good balance between fun, learning, pastoral and test time for my daughter to enjoy but also take time to reflect."

   

  "Everything went well and we were well informed of the process. Spending time with his form tutor was beneficial. Having a type of time table given them to get used to ready for September. Spending 4 days at the school was very good as I know some schools do not offer this many days."

   

  "Well organised, children made welcome and part of the school community"
