🧠🌊 Year 10 Getting Hands-On with Geography! 🌊🧠
Our Year 10 students took an interactive approach to learning this week! Working in teams, they tackled an 8-mark exam question using a coastline scenario — but with a twist!
Using collaborative tables, students broke down evidence, communicated their ideas, and built responses together. This dynamic session helped them sharpen their analytical skills and understand how to structure strong answers — all while developing teamwork and confidence. 💬✍️📊
Year 7 Forensics Project
Year 7s became forensic scientists this week! 🕵️♂️🔬 Students carried out chromatography on ink samples from a “crime scene” note and compared them with four suspects’ pens. 📝✒️ They had a blast matching inks, ruling out suspects, and solving the mystery! 🎯🧐 Further testing is needed for soil analysis, and students are excited to continue their investigation! 🌱🔎
Year 8 Charity Bake Sale
🎉 Huge well done to our amazing Year 8s at Strood Academy! They planned and ran a brilliant charity event yesterday—cakes, games, raffles, and more! 🍰⚽🎟️
Year 7 were fantastic customers and the whole event was a buzzing success, raising over £100 for our college charities! 🙌
Our Year 8s were incredibly creative, engaged, and full of energy—they learned loads, showed real leadership, and had so much fun along the way! 💡🎉
Massive thanks to our incredible form tutors, whose expertise, encouragement, and support were instrumental in helping students pull it all together. Their guidance made a huge difference! 👏💛
Just another way Strood Academy is making a difference in our community—and helping students grow into brilliant, compassionate citizens. 🌍⭐
Year 12 Business and Finance Unit
Our Year 12 Business students have been learning about Savings Products 💰 as part of their Unit 3 Personal and Business Finance Unit 📊. They were tasked with recommending a competitive deal for investing a set amount of money 💷.

Our aspiring doctors had an incredible experience at the Medical Fayre at CCCU! 👩⚕️👨⚕️ From hands-on sessions with real medical equipment like ultrasounds and ECG machines to stepping into the shoes of A&E professionals, it was a day full of learning and inspiration.
Students took part in real-life emergency scenarios, learning how to diagnose and respond to patients under pressure — just like in a real hospital setting! 🏥
Events like this give our students a deeper insight into the world of medicine and help shape their future careers. 🙌✨
