This week it was Year 8’s turn to visit to The Hepworth museum. It was such a great cultural experience for our students working with specialist artists, exploring the exhibitions and gardens at the gallery.
Well done to our Cross Country who represented the Academy on Saturday morning in Otley.
Excellent effort and determination shown by all!
Students had the best time at Leeds Grand Theatre, watching Merlin by Northern Ballet.
‘Discover how the world’s most famous sorcerer mastered his magic to unite a warring kingdom. Inspired by the story of the mythical wizard, Northern Ballet’s Merlin will take you on a sweeping epic adventure of heartbreak, hope and more than a little magic.’

The Engage Programme aims to inspire students to look beyond their sphere of experience, to give every student the aspiration to reach further and the cultural capital to achieve their dreams.
The Engage Programme is an opportunity for students to experience new and exciting activities. The programme is an extra two hours of school every week. Students have the chance to select two activities every 9 weeks. Electives include academic, sporting, dramatic, artistic, musical and personal growth opportunities.
We want students to develop their talents, improve their confidence and well being, develop personally, but most importantly, we want students to be happy.
There are lots of activities to choose from and include…
Pop Choir, Film Club, Football, Netball, Robotics, Website & App Design, Great British Bake Off, Debate, Culture Club, Great British Sewing Bee, Lego Challenge
