It was a privilege to welcome Georgia Gould - MP for Queen's Park and Maida Vale OBE MP, Minister of State for School Standards, to Hearsall Community Academy today.

Joined by our local MP Taiwo Owatemi , the visit provided an opportunity to showcase our Specialist Resource Provision and the incredible work taking place every day to support children with SEND. Our Headteacher, Mrs Jones and Lois Whitehouse, CEO of Inspire Education Trust, shared how Hearsall and Inspire are working together to provide inclusive, high quality education that enables every child to thrive.

The visit also included valuable discussions around attendance, Early Years, and the increasing number of children with SEND and Education, Health and Care Plans, highlighting both the challenges and the opportunities facing schools today.

Thank you to Georgia Gould and Taiwo Owatemi for taking the time to visit our school and learn more about our Hearsall community ☺️

🎉 Congratulations to our Parent Governor, Dr Dmitrii Kolotkov, on receiving a University of Warwick Award for Public and Community Engagement.

The awards celebrate individuals who make an outstanding contribution to engaging communities, sharing knowledge and creating meaningful opportunities for people to learn and connect.

At Hearsall Community Academy, Dmitrii has made an incredible impact through founding and organising our Hearsall Family Science Discussion Club. The club brings together families, leading scientists and the wider community for inspiring evenings of discussion, discovery and hands on science, helping to spark curiosity in children and adults alike.

As one of our Parent Governors, Dmitrii also gives so much of his time to supporting our school community, and we are incredibly grateful for his dedication, enthusiasm and commitment.

Congratulations, Dmitrii, on this thoroughly deserved recognition, and thank you for everything you do for the Hearsall community. 👏💙

Join us as we celebrate the rich diversity that makes our Hearsall community so special! 🌍✨

On Friday 19th June, we’ll be coming together for our Diversity Day, celebrating cultures, heritage and the many backgrounds represented across our school community. Children are invited to wear traditional dress or the colours of their national flag as we recognise and celebrate what makes each of us unique.

We’re also excited to be launching our Hearsall Community Cookbook, featuring recipes shared by our families from around the world. Copies will be available to purchase from 3pm for £5, with all the wonderful flavours and stories that make our community so vibrant.

If you contributed a recipe, we'd love you to join us and bring along a sample to share at the end of the day.

Together, let's celebrate friendship, culture and the belief that we have more in common than that which divides us. ❤️
