Rushden Academy Culture Day

On 30th June Rushden Academy will be hosting our annual Culture Day.

Culture Day brings together the diverse cultures represented within our student body and to help make this day a truly immersive and educational experience, we are reaching out to local businesses and community members to ask if you would be willing to donate small food samples representing your culture or your time to run a workshop with our students.

If you are interested and able to contribute to this event, please contact our EAL Coordinator, Mrs. Helen Buckoke ([email protected]), to discuss the details.

We look forward to the possibility of working with you to make this day a wonderful success.

Calling all students!
