🌟 Happy National Teaching Assistant Day! 🌟

​Today, we want to take a moment to shine a massive spotlight on our incredible Teaching Assistants at The Herewoode Academy.

​Our TAs are a crucial part of our staff family, and to put it simply: without them, our students—both past and present—would not be where they are today. Every single one of our Teaching Assistants is truly worth their weight in gold.

​They do so much more than just assist in the classroom. They are mentors, champions, problem-solvers, listening ears, and the steady hand guiding our young people through every step of their school journey.

​On behalf of all our staff, students (past and present), parents, carers, and the wider local community: THANK YOU for your endless dedication, hard work, and kindness. We appreciate everything you do! 💜

🌍 Year 11 Geography Field Trip to Hunstanton! 🌊

Yesterday, our Year 11 Geography students here at The Herewoode Academy headed out to the coast for an action-packed field trip to Hunstanton as part of their GCSE course!

Getting out into the field is such a fantastic way for our students to put classroom theory into practice, collect valuable primary data, and experience physical geography firsthand.

Well done to all of our Year 11s for their hard work, excellent focus, and fantastic behavior throughout the day. Keep up the brilliant effort as you head toward your GCSEs!
