🎶 Soundtrack My Story - Our Winner Jamie! 🎶

Jamie's fantastic piece 'The Other Side of the Balcony' in relation to William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet won the Secondary School Soundtrack My Story Competition last week and yesterday Meridian Trust's Performing Arts Curriculum Director Audrey Caldwell presented Jamie with his certificate and prize winnings!

🎼 Watch this space for the first performance of his original piece at the Trust Performing Arts Showcase at Weldon Village Academy on the 8th July and also at the Lincroft Academy CARE Awards on the 13th July!

⭐️ Congratulations again to Jamie!

🌟 National Thank a Teacher Day - Wednesday 17th June 🌟

We are celebrating teachers and all staff today at Lincroft Academy on National Thank a Teacher Day. In a fun twist to the CARE Cards that staff award students, students have been writing CARE cards for members of staff that will be handed out at the end of the week.

🗣️ If you would like to send a Thank You message to a member of staff, please do so via this form here by 19 June and we will ensure your message gets to the right person. We often get positive messages for staff via our parents evening feedback forms too, which do get shared with the intended recipient.

🌍✨ Eco-Council in Action! ✨🌍

Ten of our Eco-Councillors attended the Meridian Environment Day at Weldon Village Academy on Friday 5th June with students from all Eco-Councils across the Trust. They took part with great enthusiasm, threw themselves into every activity, asked thoughtful questions, and spoke confidently in front of different groups (some rather large! 👏). We are so proud of them! 💚

Our Eco-Council already has lots of exciting ideas to improve sustainability and can’t wait to start putting them into action 🚀

The Eco-Council currently has 34 students from Years 7–10, and we would love more members to join us! If you are interested, please contact Mrs Buckley-Theed 😊

📖 Continuing on as part of the National Year of Reading, we are highlighting a variety of books each week. For our first week, why not try a Carnegie Book Award shortlisted book?

🎉 It has been an exciting week at Lincroft Academy as we opened our long-awaited, brand new Oak Block!

Our new building has 23 classrooms and breakout spaces, offices and small group rooms. It brings specialist facilities for Design Technology, Food Technology, Art, Graphics, IT and Music, and includes a kiln, recording studio and green screen. It even has a large Reading & Learning Centre, with an outside terrace for our students to enjoy.

🌳 We are very proud of the mature way that students transitioned into the new building and are adapting to our new routines. Oak Block is a fantastic new branch of Lincroft Academy and an exceptional space for our community.

💬 Earlier today we organised a one-to-one mock interview with a business partner for all our Year 10 students. This provided students with an opportunity to improve their interview skills ahead of Sixth Form, College or apprenticeship applications during Year 11.

Students were very grateful for this opportunity to practise answering interview questions, reflecting on their skills and achievements. They were complimented by our visitors on how well prepared they were, how polite they were and how enthusiastically they approached it. All students received really useful feedback from their interviewer to help them in future interviews.

⭐️ We were very grateful to all members of our school community who volunteered their time and expertise to help support this event. We could not have done it without you. Thank you!
