Thank you

Enormous thanks to our whole community for the support throughout this academic year - we've had a fantastic year together with your children and young people ❤️

We rounded out this week saying goodbye to our leavers, who we wave off with sadness and excitement- we hope that you all go on to live your very best lives. 🥰

This summer, almost £400,000 is being invested in exciting development works with thanks to our friends across Ascent Academies Trust - we can't wait to share what we've been up to once work is completed!
And it doesn't stop there, with the same spend planned for 2026-27, a broad new curriculum to be fully embedded during next year and lots more besides.

🌟 Our young people return on Tuesday 8th September. We wish all of our children, young people, families and school team the very best of summer breaks.🌟

**Please find attached the last issue of Springwater Gazette for this year!**

A huge thank you to our job coach, Aurelia, and the team of writers - Albert, Bethany M, Riley, Jamie W, George and Caden - for all their work and the wonderful articles, stories, poems and jokes they have composed this year.
They are such enthusiastic team, and Aurelia has described what a pleasure it was to work with them on the Gazette.

Yesterday saw the return of our annual summer celebration 'Springfest'
We had stalls including a lucky dip, tiki bar, loom band stall, guess the name of the teddybear and the most popular stall 'splat the Headteacher'
A brilliant event for the whole school and surrounding community - thank you to 6th form for organising and to the PTA for providing the icecream van which gave every young person in school an ice cream 🍦☀️🪴

This time last week some of the year 14 leavers were returning from the most fabulous residential at . They were able to do climbing, den building, canoeing, campfires, biking and an incredible zip wire.
Massive thank you to all of the staff who gave up their time to allow for these young people to have the most amazing experience.
Special shout out to Zoe for organising and running the whole residential!

Enormous thanks to Calapan Catering, whose mix of Eastern and Jamaican cuisine tastes as good as it smells! They're here catering for the team brilliantly - thank you again to them!
