Celebrating Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

This Pride Month, we proudly fly the Pride flag as a symbol of our commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment for all.

At our school, we support and celebrate our LGBTQ+ students, staff, families, and wider community. We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and able to be themselves.

Together, we continue to foster a culture of kindness, acceptance, and belonging, where diversity is celebrated and every individual is respected!

We’re looking ahead to summer and our annual Astorbury Festival! ☀️

We are always looking to expand this amazing day by welcoming members of the local community to run stalls, activities and demonstrations. If you are able to support in any way, or know of anyone in the community who may be interested, we would love to hear from you!

With literacy at the heart of our priorities, working with the University of Kent has never been more important and the ‘Arguing with Confidence’ programme has been a roaring success this term!

For the second year in a row, collaborating with David Smith on this project has allowed our young people to develop their literacy, oracy and debating skills. The culmination of the 6 week project in a Moot Court, developed the most amazing confidence in our speakers and we cannot thank David and the University ambassadors enough for their belief and support! 👏

Astor’s newest cohort of Young Archaeologists have officially begun work preserving the historic Wanstone Battery site in partnership with the National Trust!

Students were recently joined by local MP Mike Tapp, who spent time speaking with students and staff before getting properly stuck in helping excavate one of the bomb shelters the boys have been uncovering.

A huge thank you to the National Trust volunteers whose dedication makes this incredible enrichment opportunity possible, and to Mr Tapp for his enthusiasm and support during today’s visit!

Year 10 Work Experience Week!

It’s been quite a ride, with placements agreed right up to the wire. But when you receive comments from professional employers like these - you know every assembly, phone call and corridor conversation is totally worth it!

Thank you to everyone who supported these placements - our young people are so fortunate to have your trust and guidance ⭐
