What a brilliant day of exploring our students had! 🤩

They started off at the Jewish Museum checking out the moving images exhibition. They had an absolutely fantastic guide who really brought everything to life and took everyone on an incredible journey through history. 📜✨

Afterwards, it was time for lunch out in the main square—and what a great night it turned into! There is always dancing in the square, but ours managed to get absolutely everyone up! They were completely buzzing! 💃🕺☀️

Then it was back to the hotel to freshen up, before heading out for a fantastic evening of bowling and a delicious dinner at a traditional Polish restaurant! 🎳🥟🇵🇱

📣 Your voice, your future! 📣

We are proud to share The Big Future, a brilliant new survey launched by the Children’s Commissioner for England! 🗳️✨

With hundreds of thousands of young people now eligible to vote in the next general election—the biggest change to the franchise in half a century—it has never been more important for our youth to be heard. Yet, sadly, only 1 in 5 children feel that politicians actually listen to them. Let’s help change that! 🙌

The Children’s Commissioner wants to hear from absolutely every child and young person aged 0–18 (parents/carers can help the younger ones!). This is their chance to speak up about:

👉 The changes they want to see in their communities 🏙️
👉 Their biggest concerns 💭
👉 Their hopes for the future and what a great childhood looks like today 🌟

How to take part:

Parents, carers, and students, please take a few minutes to complete the survey here:

🔗 www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TheBigFuture/

Let’s get our community’s voice heard! If our academy achieves high participation, we’ll even get a special summary of our pupils' responses to help us make things even better right here. 🎓🏫

Today, some of our brilliant Year 9 students who have chosen Hospitality and Catering for their KS4 options got a delicious taste of the future! They were invited to attend an exclusive taster course at Stoke on Trent College in their fantastic Hospitality and Catering department. 🏫✨

Our students put their culinary talents to the test, using a whole recipe book of skills to whip up some incredible chocolate brownies and shortbreads. 🍫🍪

Hospitality isn’t just about great food—it’s a massive part of our Health, Social Care, Sport & Public Services Gateway! By exploring the artistry of food presentation and the rich traditions of global cuisine, our students are stepping into a vibrant, creative industry with endless possibilities. 🌍

A huge shoutout to everyone who attended—your behaviour was absolutely exemplary and you were a true credit to the Academy.

We can't wait to see what you create next! 🌟👏

🌍✈️ After a long and tiring day of travelling yesterday, our students have safely arrived in beautiful Kraków! 🇵🇱

Today, they are visiting the deeply moving Galicia Jewish Museum (Żydowskie Muzeum Galicja). It’s an incredibly profound start to their trip as they explore the rich history and culture of the Jewish community, whilst taking the time to honour and commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. 🕯️✨

We are immensely proud of how maturely and thoughtfully our students are engaging with such an important part of history. 🎒❤️

🌞 The Discovery Academy 🌞

With the anticipated heatwave this week, we will be adjusting our uniform expectations to help keep students comfortable.

Students may wear their normal school uniform without a blazer, jumper, or tie. Alternatively, they may choose to wear their Discovery PE kit.

Please note that if a student chooses to wear their PE kit, it must be the correct Academy PE kit. 3” Nike Pro-style shorts, crop tops, or similar items will not be permitted.

Thank you for your support and cooperation. Stay safe and keep cool! ☀️💧
