A great week last week at Strood Academy with the commencing of college assemblies, Year 11 Expectations Evening, as well as the delivery of highly engaging lessons which have been fully embraced and enjoyed by students. This week, we prepare for our Year 6 Open Evening on Thursday 21st September, where we anticipate to welcome over 250 families who we hope will join our community at the start of the next academic year. We are incredibly proud once again of our students' dedication to both their own learning as well as meeting the high expectations asked of them. We look forward to another successful week.
