Miltoncross Academy

Well done to 9FYN, your efforts last week have led to you being the highest attending tutor group in Year 9! Keep up the good work!

Today is National Thank-A-Teacher Day!

A while ago, we sent out a Google Form for you to share your messages of thanks to different members of staff throughout the school - your responses were simply incredible 🤩

MX Teachers and Staff - thank you from all these commenters, you're appreciated!

We are very much looking forward to welcoming back our Class of 2026 for their Leaver’s Assembly on Tuesday 23rd June at 2:30pm! See you soon! ⭐

📚 Big things are happening in the Miltoncross Academy Reading Canon! We are so proud of our students and staff who are diving into our ultimate list of 50 incredible books.

The challenge is on, and the rewards are sweet! Here is how our reading champions are earning their stripes:
🥉 10 Books = Bronze Badge
🥈 25 Books = Silver Badge
🥇 All 50 Books = Gold Badge

To help everyone on their reading journey, we highlight a special choice every week. This week’s featured book is "Revolver" by Marcus Sedgwick - a gripping, atmospheric thriller set in the freezing Arctic that you won't be able to put down.

Which book are you checking off your list next? Grab a copy, start turning pages, and let's get those badges! 📖✨

📅 The Countdown is On! Let’s Finish Strong! 💪
We are officially in the home stretch of the school year, and we couldn't be prouder of how hard Years 7, 8, 9, and 10 have worked.

With the summer holidays just around the corner, it can be tempting to switch into holiday mode a little early - but every single day counts!

🌟 Why showing up until Wednesday 22nd July matters:
Finish what you started: Lock in all the amazing progress you’ve made this year.

Key memories: The last few weeks are packed with end-of-term activities, team challenges, and celebrating with your friends.

Smooth transitions: Ready to smash it next year? Staying engaged now makes September feel like a breeze.

Remember: Success isn't just about how you start; it’s about how you cross the finish line. 🏁

Let’s keep that attendance streak going, support each other, and make every day between now and Wednesday 22nd July count. You’ve got this! 🙌

🎉 Huge congratulations to our incredible Year 11s! 🎉

First, a massive shoutout to 11NOE for smashing it last week and claiming the title of the highest attending tutor group! 🏆

And an extra special round of applause goes to 11NQI, our ultimate attendance champions for being the highest attending Year 11 tutor group across the entire school year! What an amazing achievement to round off your time here. 🌟

As this is our final post for you, we want to say a huge thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Wishing every single one of you the absolute best of luck in your next chapters. You’ve got this! 🎓💙
