Rosh Hashanah 2026

Wishing those celebrating the start of the Jewish New Year a year filled with new starts, making amends, peace and love.

In 2026, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday 11th September and ends at sundown on Sunday 13th September.

“What is Rosh Hashanah? Literally the “head of the year,” is the Jewish new year. It is a time of introspection and atonement. The central theme and practice not only of Rosh Hashanah, but of the entire fall holiday season, is teshuvah — a word commonly translated as “repentance,” but which more literally means “return.” Rosh Hashanah — and the holiday that follows it by ten days, Yom Kippur — are intensely focused on teshuvah. Many Jews see this as a time to make amends or apologize to those they have wronged in the past year and resolve to do better in the year about to begin.” (from myjewishlearning.com)

International Day of Literacy

“Literacy for people, the planet and prosperity”

Marking the 60th anniversary of International Literacy Day, the 2026 celebration offer an opportunity to reflect on global progress in literacy, address persistent and emerging challenges, and shape future literacy agendas.

How does this look at our Academy?

📖 Accelerated Reading
Years 7 & 8 take part in AR during form time

📖 Register, Read, Respond
KS4 groups will receive a ‘Register, Read, Respond’ booklet per student with various extracts and questions linking to the extract, this will help our students to explore new texts, genres and authors as well as develop a better level of comprehension.

📖 Study skills
KS5 groups take part in study skills giving them a broader understanding of various aspects of revision, notetaking and other skills which will help them for higher education or the world of work.

📖 Reading Rewards
We will be starting our reading rewards programme which is open to all year groups. Teachers will nominate students to receive a token that can be used in our new book vending machine, students can take a book home of their choice and winners will be announced every Friday. Students can be nominated if they:
• Read aloud in a class
• Improve their reading age significantly in Accelerated Reader
• Have appropriate book-related conversations
• Any engagement with reading or literacy overall

📖 Author of the month
If students are not sure what they want to read next, they are welcome to check out the author of the month display in the LRC. September is Jennifer Lynn Barnes, author of the Inheritance Games series.
