Persistence pays off! After 5 years of showing up to the FOTA Quiz, Put a Springer in your Step has finally gone all the way and taken home the trophy!

A very huge thank you to Dr Springer for hosting an incredible quiz at Belfast Royal Academy 🦉

Sharp-witted host with a quiz for the cause,

Puzzles and trivia earning applause.

Raising great funds for the school with a cheer,

Inspiring the teams as the battle draws near.

Nostalgic old hits from the noughties ring out,

Great Titanic deep-dives to puzzle and flout.

Eccentric and brilliant, the questions designed,

Ready to test every bright mind.

Our annual Welcome Breakfast for Form 1 parents at Belfast Royal Academy was a great success!

It was lovely to welcome so many new families, giving parents the chance to meet one another, enjoy a chat over breakfast, and hopefully ease some of the nerves that come with their little ones starting “big school.”

We were also delighted to provide breakfast for our fantastic staff and to officially welcome our new Principal, Mr Anderson.

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the morning such a warm and friendly occasion.

Be sure to keep an eye on the FOTA page for all our upcoming events and ways to get involved throughout the year. 🦉
