    Bedford Highlights Academy News and Views from Bedford Academy Autumn 2014 Year 7 HAVE ARRIVED! See page 7 Inside this issue: • Focus on Year 7 • Spotlight on Reading • Sky Sports Studio Trip Welcome A message from Bedford Academy Principal, Mrs Smith. The students have had another busy term taking part in a wide variety of events and activities which have enhanced their academic learning. September marked a major milestone in Bedford Academy’s history when we became a secondary school and welcomed Years 7 and 8 for the first time. As you will see from the numerous articles in this newsletter, they have settled in well and have enjoyed being involved in an array of diverse activities from zorbing and sailing, to researching the lives of local soldiers who served in WW1 and creating rainbows in test tubes during science! At the Academy we believe it is important that we offer students opportunities to widen their cultural experience and social skills. We also recognise the importance of ensuring our students are prepared for life after school and provide a high quality careers education and support service. You can read about the comprehensive extent of their work on pages 14-15. Reading, writing and numeracy skills lie at the heart of everything we do and are essential across all subjects at every level. At Bedford Academy we encourage reading at every opportunity and the “Spot Light on Reading” feature within this edition of the newsletter gives top tips in helping to develop an interest in reading. We all have our part to play in providing the very best education that we can for young people and I urge parents to encourage students to read at home.

  • Newsletter December 2017
    Newsletter December 2017 GOLDINGTON ACADEMY IS THE PLACE TO BE! New email address: [email protected] Engaging minds. Nurturing success. Inspiring futures. PRINCIPAL’S INTRODUCTION Once again it has been an incredible term, and this newsletter provides only the highlights! It gives me great pleasure to see how the young people of Goldington Academy embrace the opportunities that their teachers provide for them at school. As Christmas approaches, I have been particularly pleased to see us doing more work in the community. Last week, our choir sang at The Mallards and Kimbolton Lodge, and our community ambassadors led a Christmas craft activity with the residents, who loved the activity, as did our children who learned from Gwen (103 years old) what teaching was like ‘in the good old days’. Our community work is just one example of new initiatives here at school. We are constantly looking to provide a rich, exciting and stimulating extra-curricular provision that can bring out the individual talents of each child. Some examples of that curriculum include: Robotics and STEM; Parkour; Gardening Club and, of course, the myriad of sports clubs and competitions that take place. Our sporting success continues as the Year Five and Six girls’ football team became District Champions and both the girls’ and boys’ Year Seven and Eight teams were crowned District Sportshall Champions last week. In addition, our Arts Department have had a busy term. I particularly enjoyed our Act!17 performance of ‘Pandora’s Box’ at Bedford Modern School’s ‘Greek Myths’ collaboration. Call me biased, but I personally felt our performance was the best! Well done to Mr Stratton and all the young actors who were involved.

  • Bedford Free School
    Title: Bedford Free School Author: Department for Education (DfE) Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the additional school would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies, institutions within the further education sector and Alternative Provision in the area in which the additional school is (or is proposed to be) situated. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. Background 2. The Bedford Free School is a co-educational 11-16 secondary school proposed to open in central Bedford. The school plans to open in 2012 with a total of 200 pupils (100 yr7 and 100 yr9), reaching 500 pupils at full capacity by 2014. 3. Bedford Free School aims to serve the area of Bedford and Kempston, where educational standards are below national average and have been for some time. Despite a long term aspiration to move to a two tier system, most of the schools in the area are three tier and as such, this Impact Assessment focuses on the direct impact of the Free School on both Middle and Upper Schools throughout Bedford and Kempston as well considering any indirect impact on Lower schools, Further Education (FE) institutions and other types of educational provision in the area. Education in Bedford 4. Bedford Borough currently run a largely three tier education system. As a 11- 16 secondary school, the Free School will have an impact on both middle and upper schools in the area.
