Last night saw phenomenal performances from year 8 debating teams in Churchill Academy's annual speaking competition, this year hosted by @RotaryGBI. Their oracy and team work skills shone and they should be very proud of themselves. Well done and thank you to all involved.

@ChurchillAcad students are so imaginative, creative, witty and fun. They’re a pleasure to work with on a daily basis.

High drama in Year 10 English today with the Quotes World Cup Final. The whole class were split into 16 pairs in Rd 1. Whoever knew the most quotes for a particular Inspector Calls character, progressed. The whole class cheered these two on at the end in a tense 5-4 finish!

Really proud of all our @ChurchillAcad Spelling Bee finalists this afternoon! Some incredibly tough words that our Year 8s and 9s coped with admirably. Fantastic competition organised brilliantly by Mr Lockett!

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay We remember all those who lost their lives to Nazi persecution, and to the thousands around the world who still suffer oppression because of race, ethnicity or religion.

Fantastic reflection work on #holes assessment from one of our #year7 students #education #literature #knowledgeorganiserKO

[ChurchillEnglishDept @ChurchillEng]

Our KS3&Year 9 students @ChurchillAcad continue to impress in English h/w revision with evidence of independent use of learning strategies. Our vision: all students will have the core knowledge& skills embedded by Year 11 through continued retrieval practice in class & at home.

[ChurchillEnglishDept @ChurchillEng]

Very proud of all our contestants tonight in the @ChurchillAcad Public Speaking final. Brilliant speeches delivered on topics ranging from population overcrowding to raising the profile of women’s sport. Well done all! #buildingconfidence #woulddoabetterjobthancurrentpoliticians

The first set of "please-set-us-revision-tasks-for-homework" submissions are in! Students across the ability range have engaged with the plan we've given them and produced resources that will benefit them in the long run. #revision #independentlearning #practicemakesperfect

[ChurchillEnglishDept @ChurchillEng]

Student voice is a crucial part of what we do at @ChurchillEng. Students recently asked us to set explicit revision tasks as homework, so here's one way of doing just that. #theyspokewelistened #revisechurchilleng #practicemakesperfect
