Leigh Academy Oaks- Principal's Bulletin

Dear Parents & Carers, 

What a busy and festive time it has been in the academy this week as we move closer to the end of the module. Our corridor is full of excitement, curiosity, and plenty of Christmas cheer.

Last week, our Year 3 pupils ventured out on their much-anticipated trip to Dover Museum. The children were fully engaged throughout the day, making meaningful connections to their learning and returning to the academy buzzing with new knowledge and enthusiasm. A big thank you to Mr Powell, Mrs Cooper, Mrs Mehigan and Miss Roffey who supported the visit and helped make it such a valuable learning experience.

In yesterday's assembly, our Year 5 pupils lit up the hall with their energetic Christmas break dance. Their confidence, teamwork and joy were a delight to watch and a wonderful way to bring our community together at the end of the week. Well done to all who performed—you made us incredibly proud.

We are now deep into our Christmas Performance season. Performances have been taking place throughout this week, filling the academy with music, storytelling, and sparkle. Next week, we look forward to even more shows from our talented pupils. The dedication and effort they have put into rehearsals are clear to see, and we are excited for families to share in these special moments.

Looking ahead, I am pleased to welcome families into classrooms on Tuesday at 2:45pm for a celebration of pupils’ inquiry learning. This open-classroom time will give you the chance to explore the Lines of Inquiry your children have been investigating and the skills they have developed along the way. I hope you enjoy seeing their curiosity and thinking in action.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and partnership. I look forward to sharing a joyful and inspiring final stretch of the module with you all.

Best Wishes, 

Mr L Coulson
