Have a fantastic summer 🏖️

🎳✂️ Learners at Trinity have been enjoying some fantastic hands-on experiences recently!

Our students had a brilliant time on a bowling trip, building confidence, social skills and friendships outside the classroom. They have also been developing their practical barbering skills, learning how to create a perm and gaining valuable experience in a real-world style setting.

Well done to all involved — it’s great to see our learners trying new things, building independence and developing skills for the future! 👏✨

🍎🧑‍🍳 Our Primary students in Neptune have been busy learning, creating and exploring!

They have been making delicious apple turnovers in cooking, completing jigsaws, and visiting a museum to discover what money was like in Roman times. 🧩🏛️🪙

What a fantastic mix of practical learning, problem-solving and history in action! 👏✨

🌍✨ Earth Class have been busy showing off some wonderful learning! ✨🌍

They have been working hard on their Phonics and are very proud of their fantastic efforts. The children have also enjoyed getting stuck into a cooking lesson and creating brilliant animal fact files. 📝🐾👩‍🍳

Well done, Earth Class — what amazing work! 👏💫

🚒🔥 Our students have been taking part in the fantastic Firebreak programme with Peterborough Fire Service!
Over five days, students are developing important life skills including teamwork, confidence, communication and learning about key safety topics💬🤝
We are so proud of their commitment and look forward to seeing them receive their certificates at the end of the programme. Well done everyone! 🌟👏

🌿 **Pupils at Richard Barnes Academy have enhanced their school grounds into a thriving nature space!** 🌱

As part of the Green Earth Schools initiative, students at the Fitzwilliam Campus helped design and create new outdoor areas filled with planting, nature crafts, seating spaces and even a bug hotel 🐞🌸

The project, delivered with support from Earthwatch Europe, PECT, Addison Lee and volunteers, has given pupils a calm, green space to enjoy, learn from and take pride in 💚

A wonderful example of pupil voice, teamwork and outdoor learning in action! 👏

Peterborough pupils transform school grounds into thriving nature space “It was a pleasure to join the Earthwatch team and their volunteers”

A memorable day at Shakespeare's Globe 🩵

Macbeth students headed to London to experience Shakepeare's work in its most authentic setting.

After studying the play in their English lessons, they enjoyed an interactive workshop led by Globe practitioner, Jim.

They impressed staff with their curiosity and growing confidence as they asked lots of thoughtful questions and embraced new challenges.

Experiences like this help broaden horizons and inspire young people to achieve their potential. 🚀

Well done to all students who represented the academy so brilliantly. 👏
