Principal's Message:
As we wrap up another week at the academy, I hope this message finds you well and looking forward to the weekend!
Firstly, I am thrilled to announce our recent collaboration with A-Life who have been running engaging workshops focused on healthy lifestyles. These sessions have captivated pupils of all ages, encouraging them to explore a variety of exciting and varied activities. From mindfulness exercises to interactive games, the children were learning invaluable lessons about taking care of both their minds and bodies. It has been heartwarming to see such enthusiasm and engagement and I truly believe that such a focus on health and wellbeing will have a lasting impact.
On Thursday, the Langley Choir had the most wonderful experience at the O2 for the annual Young Voices event! They enthusiastically performed an exciting selection of songs alongside a stunning 50-piece live band. Their energy was infectious, and they truly represented the academy impeccably. The camaraderie among the choir members was evident as they enjoyed every moment of the event. Some of the artists that they sung alongside or watch perform included MC Grammar, Tommy Blaze and Souparnika Nair. Most importantly, they had an absolute blast, creating memories that will last a lifetime!
As we navigate the bustling academy site each day, I would like to gently remind everyone about the speed limit in the car park, which is set at 5mph. This regulation is not merely a guideline; it is crucial for ensuring the safety of our children, staff and visitors. A little consideration can go a long way in keeping everyone safe.
Additionally, when using the car park for drop-off and pick-up, please ensure that you are using the designated bays correctly. We have noticed a few instances of cars parked in disabled spaces that aren’t occupied by blue badge holders. These spaces are vital for those who require them and your cooperation in keeping these areas clear is therefore greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our academy community. Let us continue to work together to foster a safe, caring, and healthy environment for our children.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss S Brading
