Our Coffee Mornings are going well. We are very happy to see our parents engaging with the Academy. We have had some interested in joining the PTA, been visted by Jonathan form Adult Learning, Kelly has given updates of the new government rules about attendance and our new SENDCo (Mrs Sillett) introduced herself. This sparked lots of good conversations about SEND and neurodiversity. Because of this interest, we have organised some sessions with Adult Learning on neurodiversity. Letters have been sent out but if you need another, please contact the office.

We have the school nurse and our local PCSO's joining us in the next few weeks too. If there are any subjects or local agencies that you would like to invite to our coffee mornings, please let Louise know.

Our Academy wouldn't be like it is without our parents. We appreciate parents views and comments. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Year 6 had a fantastic week at Condover! They tried lots of fun and exciting new activities which most of them had never experienced before. Everyone challenged themselves to have a go at everything. Even when they were feeling scared or nervous, they tried their best and encouraged one another. They learnt a lot about themselves and what they can achieve. The adults were extremely proud of everyone. We are sure everyone will remember the week for a long time to come!

Corby Bonfire Night

Made in Corby are working with Corby Borough Council to make this year’s bonfire night celebrations even more spectacular than usual.

They’ll be animating the paths and roads around the boating lake with a range of extraordinary performances and installations. Keep an eye out for an announcement of which artists will be joining and where to find them!

6.30pm Torchlit procession starts at Corby Pool
7.00pm Lighting of the bonfire
7.30pm Fireworks

A reminder to stay safe over the Halloween and Bonfire Night season. Here is some advice from the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service. Remember that Corby always has a lovely free Firework Display which is cheaper and safer than holding your own!

This week we held our annual Harvest Festival and Scarecrow Competition. As usual we were blown away by the creativity and effort put into the entries. They have been displayed in the school garden all week and have made a very impressive sight! Well done everyone. (Please don't forget to take them home today as it is Half Term next week.)
