Mr Moore's News Update
Dear parents and carers,
I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the children who participated in the Young Voices concert at the O2 on Wednesday. It was a privilege to hear that our children performed with such energy and heart on one of the world’s most iconic stages. However, what filled me with even more pride than their singing was their exemplary conduct throughout the day. Your children represented the academy beautifully, demonstrating maturity, kindness, and impeccable manners from start to finish. They were true ambassadors for our school, and I have received numerous comments on their fantastic behaviour. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and the spirit they brought to this unforgettable experience. Well done to you all!

What an incredible experience Wednesday was! The children truly shone at the Young Voices concert at the O2, and we couldn’t be more impressed by their performance and spirit.
Beyond the singing, what stood out most was their exemplary behaviour. From the long journey to the final encore, they were focused, polite, and enthusiastic, representing the academy with absolute grace and maturity. They were true ambassadors for our school community, and seeing them perform with such passion on such a massive stage was a moment we won't soon forget.
We are immensely proud of every single one of them—well done, superstars!
#WakeUpWednesday
#WakeUpWednesday
#WakeUpWednesday is a campaign by the National Online Safety organisation. It's designed to help parents and carers stay informed about the latest online trends and platforms that their children might be using.
Every Wednesday, a new guide or resource is released, offering simple tips and advice on how to keep children safe online. These guides cover a range of topics, from popular apps and games to general online safety issues like cyberbullying and privacy. The goal is to start a conversation between adults and children about staying safe in the digital world.
We will upload these guides/resources here every week.
