We are looking forward to enjoying the Sports Awards Evening, Access Oscars and our end of year rewards trip, to name but a few. We have had an elongated exam period with students from Years 9 to 13 sitting a range of exams over a 6 week period. We are hugely proud of how our students have engaged with these exams and look forward to celebrating another successful set of results in August. As you are aware, I am moving on in the summer holidays to take on a new challenge at a secondary school in Derby. This is a decision that is based on what is best for my young family and I will miss both the staff and students of Bedford Academy immensely. It truly is a special place and it is the daily energy and enthusiasm that permeates all that we do that will be my abiding memory of the school. I have enjoyed working alongside our amazing students over the 14 years that I have been in the area and have also enjoyed getting to know you all as parents and carers, as we have worked together to ensure that education impacts positively on young lives. I wish you all the best for the future and hope to see many of you at different events prior to my departure in July. Mr McGregor, Head Teacher Introducing Chris Deller – Head of School Firstly I would like to say how proud I am to be appointed Head of School for Bedford Academy. I have been a part of the Academy’s development and improvement for the past 7 years and feel I am well placed to drive the school forward with the support of the students, parents and staff. My first term will have a simple focus; to improve the learning environment around the building and in classrooms. This will mean a consistently firm but fair approach to the basics – uniform, attendance, punctuality and positive behaviour. It is no secret that we have made significant changes to the structure of the school day and students and staff have responded well. These changes have been completely student-focussed and will have significant impact on the quality of teaching and the student’s engagement in their curriculum lessons. Our new Pastoral staff, including our Heads of Year team, have settled in well to their new roles and their main objective from now on is to know their Year group on an individual basis, forming strong relationships and supporting students through the daily challenges they face as young people. We have several exciting developments that will be launched in September, a new look student Voice team and student rewards system; I will also be looking for volunteers to help develop our Parent Voice. Finally, I hope you all have a fantastic summer whatever you have planned and look forward to welcoming our students back in September, refreshed and raring to go.

  • Year 7 HAVE ARRIVED! See Page 7
    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.

  • School Structural Consultation Bedford Borough School Structure Changes
    School structural consultation Bedford Borough School Structure Changes Public Consultation School Organisation Review Foreword On Friday 3 July 2015, we announced that we would work alongside schools in Bedford Borough to design and deliver a transition from a three-tier education system (with lower, middle and upper schools) to a two-tier system (with primary and secondary schools). We have been working alongside head teachers and governors to ensure that these changes to schools are as coordinated and coherent as possible and, at the same time, are able to ofer future certainty to parents, carers and guardians. Having spoken to many parents in the Borough, our priority is for every school in the Borough to be good or outstanding and to ensure that parents, carers and guardians are able to clearly understand the route their child, or children could take through the education system. We feel it is important that as schools are finalising their school-specific proposals and consulting on them accordingly with their communities, Bedford Borough Council provides an overview of the strategic plans for the Borough as a whole. Within this document you will find an overview of each school and the proposals they are consulting on, together with a link to where you can find their consultation documents. The document also provides an overview of the proposed transition options for children and young people as we move towards a two-tier system. We really want to hear your views before we decide whether to take on this big change in schools structures in Bedford Borough. More than 90% of our schools are independently rated as good or outstanding according to the school inspector Ofsted, putting us at the top of local authorities in the Eastern Region, and we want to continue to enable children and young people in Bedford Borough to access the best opportunities in life and the best start in life.

    Bedford Highlights Academy News and Views from Bedford Academy Spring 2018 WHOLE SCHOOL PRODUCTION: Little Shop of Horrors See page 8 Inside this issue: • National Careers Week pg 3 • World Book Day pg 6 • Academy Alumni pg 15 Welcome A message from Bedford Academy Head Teacher, Mr McGregor. The Spring edition of our Highlights magazine really emphasises the vast array of experiences that are open to the students at the school. We have coordinated a number of external visits including trips to Universities, apprenticeship links and our first ever Duke of Edinburgh camping experience. We are also delighted that we can provide a range of activities during the school day to inspire and stretch our students. During this term we have had a visit from the Mayor, Dave Hodgson, World Book Day and a fantastic school musical ‘Little Shop of Horrors’. We were also proud to host our annual careers fair which was branded this year as ‘Careers Quest’. This involved our students interacting with a wide range of exhibiitors from local and national businesses and further education. Our students continue to demonstrate a vast array of talents with our Sixth Form basketball team crowned local champions for the first time. We also have four keen musicians representing us in ‘The Battle of the Bands’! The next few weeks are a very busy time at Bedford Academy. Exam season is almost upon us and staff and students are working hard to ensure that we maximise every opportunity for success. We continue to promote various revision strategies and have a number of subject specific resources to support knowledge retention.

  • 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.
