Grand Opening
On Tuesday 27th March we celebrated our moving to the fantastic new building with our official Opening Ceremony. We had invited guests including the Mayor and his wife, Councillors, Governors, Heads from our primary partner schools, our sister academy and representatives from the Academies Enterprise Trust and Carillion. It was a great occasion with tours for the guests which included a Dance installation and live music and then we all came together for the ceremony. We had two performances from the cast of Return to the Forbidden Planet and the plaque was unveiled by four students Joshua Rutland Armstrong House, Charmaine Hull Newton House, Daniel Bourke Darwin House and Emily Summers and Cara Wilsher from Turner House.
It was a lovely occasion to recognise that this building certainly will provide our students and the community with ‘A bright new future’.

The Life Choice Baby Hire Programme
Submitted by admin on Mon 20 Jun 2011 - 11:13
Over the weekend of Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th June, 27 students and 3 members of staff participated in the Life Choice Baby Hire Programme and tended to the needs of their very own virtual baby for the entire weekend.
The babies were programmed to start at 5 p.m. on Friday 17th and switch off at 11 p.m. on Sunday 19th and they behaved in exactly the same way as real babies.
There were various learning objectives for this exercise involving parenting skills, body image, being a teenage parent, looking after babies, peer pressure and self-esteem.
The students and staff did really well and the Life Choice representative was particularly impressed as this was the first time we had run the scheme.
The highest scoring student was Tristan Massey with 98%, closely followed by Abby Wood with 96%.
This was a demanding project and a very high percentage of our students took it very seriously and provided exceptional care to the babies. Well done to all who took part.

French Breakfast

'On Friday 17 June, five Year 8 and Year 9 French students took part in Chipping Hill's annual French breakfast event. Our students acted as French assistants and interacted with the younger students of Chipping Hill in French, offering them a variety of French food, fruits and drinks. The experience was fantastic on both sides and we are glad to be part of this event every year'.

GOSH London Bridges Walkathon
Submitted by admin on Fri 17 Jun 2011 - 11:33
Sunday's GOSH London Bridges Walkathon, which was attend by 175 students, teachers, parents and grandparents. In all we had a great day out on our sponsored walk in aid of GOSH.
The weather was very kind to us, with us yet again having the hottest day of the year on our walk, reaching 30c. Despite the blistering heat, everyone managed to keep a good pace and all finally completed the walk.
I would like to thank everyone behind the scenes involved at Greensward, Clacton and New Rickstones Academies, for their continued support in aid of GOSH and making this event happen. Special thanks to the Group Leaders, Mary Pickett at Greensward, Adie Howell at New Rickstones, and Di Bignall at Clacton in organising their team of students and support staff.
Our next challenge is to collect in the sponsorship money, which tends to take a while, but we normally have this completed in September when we return to school after the summer break, at which time we will have a total figure for the amount. Once you have your individual Academy's total, could you please let me know in order that we can arrange the payments to be made to GOSH.
There will be an official presentation later in the year of the total money raised at GOSH in London, where we will invite a representative ( Teacher and Student )from each Academy to attend the presentation.
The GOSH London Bridges Walkathon 2012, is only twelve months away, and we would like to extend our invitation for all AET Academies to join us next year. If you would like your Academy to attend this event next year, please register your interest with myself, and I will keep you informed of the proposed date, and provide a presentation to your students to let them know more about the event.
As a Trustee of GOSH, I would like to offer my sincere thanks for your support in aid of GOSH.
Kind regards
Trevor
Trevor Fulcher
Chair of Board of Governors
