📢 Form Fest 2025/2026 – Celebrating Our Students' Achievements! 🎉

As another academic year draws to a close, we are delighted to celebrate our students' outstanding contributions to their Academy, Year Group and Tutor Group.

This week, the final Form Fest points have been totalled, recognising the many ways our students have embraced Academy life throughout the year. Points have been awarded for excellent attendance, representing the Academy, participation in extracurricular activities and clubs, including sports teams, the school production, Duke of Edinburgh, Cadets, Warhammer, Homework Club and many more.

Students have also earned points through the tutor group quizzes, challenges and competitions that have taken place across the year, demonstrating teamwork, commitment and Academy virtues

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, dedication and positive attitudes shown by so many of our students. Their willingness to get involved, support others and make the most of every opportunity has helped make this a fantastic year.

It gives us great pleasure to celebrate with 7.1, 8.3, 9.3 and 10.8 on their Year Group wins, and with 8.3 for being the highest-scoring team in the entire school. 🏆👏

What a community. What a sense of belonging. What stars! ⭐

Wow… oh wow! What a send-off!

An incredible venue, incredible students, incredible food, and even more incredible dance moves! The dance floor was never empty, and what an unforgettable evening it was.

A huge thank you to all of our students, staff and families who helped make the night so special. We saw some amazing arrivals too—from limousines and sports cars to, dare we say it… even a helicopter! 🚁 Now that will be hard to top!

Here are just a few photos and videos from a truly beautiful evening. We hope they bring back some fantastic memories.

A brilliant way for our Year 7 football team to bring the season to a close, with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Birches Head.

The boys were outstanding from start to finish, playing with confidence, energy and real quality throughout the game. Their teamwork and determination were clear to see, and the result was a deserved reward for the hard work they have put in all season.

This group has made tremendous progress over the year and should be incredibly proud of everything they have achieved. Ending the season on such a positive note gives us plenty to be excited about and we hope the players can take this momentum, belief and togetherness into next year as they continue to develop and improve.

Well done boys, a fantastic performance and a great way to sign off the season.
