Assembly programme and collective worship
All students attend and engage with a weekly assembly programme which is delivered by staff and students. Our assemblies reinforce our Academy values of GRACE and leadership. These assemblies allow for the opportunity to build a strong sense of community and a time to reflect, through collective worship.
As well as our weekly assemblies we host fortnightly house assemblies where students come together as a house to celebrate each other’s successes. Our awards include the following:
- Attendance and Punctuality
- Positive Points
- Homework completion
- Highest club attendance
- Tutor shout outs
