What a huge success the Adwick Christmas Market was on Saturday? This is now set to become an annual event here in the Academy, building on the success of this year.
Despite the cold and rainy weather, over 350 people came to the market and they were not disappointed. Christmas presents were brought from a range of stall and the Academy choir, “Love to Sing” provided the festive singing.
Santa was kept very busy all day and so were his Little Helpers. It was altogether a brilliant day and although we have not added up the final amount of money raised, I am sure we will have gone beyond the £1,000 target we set to go to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital Fund.
A massive thank you to all the staff and students who worked so hard to make this happen.

Welcome to everyone after the half-term break I hope you all had a great week.
This is the half-term that seems to fly by even faster than usual as we run up to Christmas.
Before we start our countdown to Christmas though in December we’ve got all that November will bring!
Our November will I’m sure start with a bang…. and it’s not fireworks I’m talking about but the amazing performance of our students in the November exams. Year 11 students have been working so hard, particularly in Maths and I’m sure this will pay off in a few weeks time.
Don’t forget “Outwood’s Got Talent” on November 4th 6pm.

What a fantastic night the Year 11 Prom was! It was so lovely to see the girls looking absolutely stunning in their marvellous dresses and the boys looking very handsome in their stylish suits.
It was a brilliant evening – speeches, presentation, music, food and dancing. My favourite bit was the round of applause and cheering in appreciation of the amazing Year 11 Learning Manager – what a star!

So the 2 big English exams are complete and we’re now gearing up for the Maths exams after half-term. Our students and staff have worked so hard in the run-up to these exams and I know they are going to see their reward with the results in August.
You always know we’re on the home straight in the run up to the end of the year when the Year 11 Prom Tickets go on sale, which has happened this week. I know Mrs Hill and Year 11 have spent a lot of time fund-raising and preparing for this and it’s going to be a great night.
