Hewett Academy

Our Year 7s had a lovely morning during their gardening intervention, where they spent time harvesting herbs and learning how to prepare their own herbal tea. They carefully selected and combined different ingredients before making the tea, which they delivered to members of staff around the school. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to develop practical skills, teamwork, and confidence while spreading a little kindness. 🫖☕️🪴

We are extremely proud of our students who entered the Young Norfolk Writers Competition.
Itohan V has won the 'Year of Reading' category with her piece 'The Quiet Power of Words' and Nishreya B has won with her story 'Everything Felt Ordinary'.
They will collect their prizes at the winners showcase at Dragon Hall on Monday 6th July.

Five students from Hewett Academy and one student from Jane Austen College represented Norfolk at the Regional
Chance to Shine Street Cricket competition in Thurrock today. 🏏

Despite the long journey, the boys got off to a fantastic start beating both Herts Cricket sides, before a closely contested victory against an East London team! 🙌

With three wins each, this set up a deciding final match versus Cricket East! The boys batted and bowled valiantly against a strong, experienced team; however, they came up short and had to settle for proud runners-up! 🥈

A massive thank you to Aaron Seekings from
Norfolk Cricket Foundation for accompanying the trip and given guidance to the team throughout the day! 👏

The corridors are filled with the smell of garlic as year 10's have this week been working on understanding the roles of yeast and gluten in bread making.
Students made yeast enriched doughs and turned them into Tear and Share Cheese and Chive breads which were topped with a garlic butter. The verdict is in and they tatste amazing!

Last Saturday fourteen students who have demonstrate excellent commitment and passion for rugby in PE lessons and at after school club throughout the year, were taken on a reward trip to see Leicester Tigers vs Northampton Saints, in a heated derby match!

Leicester Tigers is the nearest Gallagher Premiership Rugby club to Hewett Academy and many a player from Norfolk has come through their development player pathway represent the club and England!

The match itself got offer to an electric start with a try for both teams before Leicester made their dominance count. It was very pleasing to see players from Norfolk at the heart of things for the Tigers, with Freddie Steward going over for a try and Jack van Poortvliet pulling the strings in the Number 9 position. The scoreline finished a crushing 41-17 to Leicester Tigers!

Following the game, players from both teams walked around the pitch which enable our students to get selfies and autographs with several international players and role models. A truly memorable experience.

A massive thank you to Mr Nutt and Ben Marshall, our resident Rugby Coach from Crusaders for giving up their Saturday to accompany the trip.

What do these organisations have in common?

Centre Parcs, Q Hotels, The Shoebox Enterprises, the Royal Navy, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, City College Norwich and the College of West Anglia.

They all have opportunities to study or work in catering, hospitality or tourism and our Year 10 students had a great time talking to them in the beautiful setting of Dunston Hall.

Year 10 were amazing during Dr Tej Samani's workshop to improve revision techniques last week, well done!

Our Year 10 students have started to develop higher level technical skills and utilising different cooking methods. This week they made their own pasta with the final master piece being Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli.
