'LittleSticks' Golf Project

In 2024, we started a collaboration with LIV Golf francise, Majesticks GC, with an aim to get more young people experiencing Golf - whilst developing key life skills.

This partnership included equipping all of our local primary schools with resources to help teach Golf in PE lessons, as well as introducing it within our own PE curriculum.

This summer, a film crew visited our school to capture the impact the project, which was shown throughout the recent LIV Golf UK event on TNT Sports.

The video captures a number of our Sports leaders, as well as showcasing 3 of our students; Jack (Sports Leadership Academy), CJ (participating in our Golf lunchtime club), and Malakai (joining our school in September).

Super proud of our alumni!

Our Duke of Edinburgh team works incredibly hard throughout the year, supporting students to achieve their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. Seeing our alumni recognised like this is a wonderful reminder of what that hard work can lead to.

Congratulations! 💜

Regular readers of About Thetford will be no strangers to Taylor and Tyler, who featured in the magazine on both their GCSE and A-Level results days at Thetford Academy.

In July, we rejoined them as they shared their Duke of Edinburgh's Award journey with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh himself - a longer version of their story is now available online 👇

Rather than hearing it from us, here's what some of our fantastic employers had to say about our students...
