League of Excellence Award Winners for Module 1

In November, we celebrated the achievements of the Mandela students across all year groups with our Module 1 League of Excellence awards. These awards take into consideration, attendance and positive and negative behaviour points to give each student an overall score. The award winners for each year group and across the whole college can be seen below:

In addition to these fantastic year awards, huge congratulations to  Temiloluwa, Elizabeth, and Michelle who achieved the highest scores in the whole college, and also to Joseph, Michelle, and Elizabeth who have achieved the highest literacy scores in the college to date.

Celebrating Mandela successes beyond the academy

We continue to enjoy celebrating the successes of our students outside of the academy as well. This module, Tabitha continued to compete regularly at a high level in cheerleading, recently winning another silver medal. Samuel has been competing regularly for his athletics club and has recently achieved county selection for his cross-country endeavours. Logan wore his Sea Cadets uniform with pride at our recent Remembrance service, as well as being involved in a range of events in the local area. We are so pleased to confirm that he has passed all of his assessments and is now a fully-fledged Sea Cadet! We'd also like to congratulate our four Mandela students Freddie, Kobe, Ellis and Samuel on their amazing gold medal successes at the South East regional gymnastics competition.

Farewells

We are very sad to say farewell to Mr. Lecky and Mr. Chaggar who are leaving us at the end of Module 2. Mr. Lecky has been a key part of the computing & Mandela (and Chaucer), teams since 2019.  Mr. Chaggar has been a vital member of the Mandela tutor team as well as an excellent maths teacher. We would like to wish them well in their future endeavours.
