PD CURRICULUM!

Mass participation, collaboration & discussion, allowing pupils to engage with a wide range of meaningful & thought-provoking topics. Alongside this, pupils are developing key reading, writing and oracy skills, whilst building positive relationships and learning!

RUGBY ELECTIVE! 🏉

It was amazing to turn around and the pupils taking it upon themselves to perform The Haka against their peers that they’ve learnt in the Electives programme at STWA! They’ve also learnt about the culture and history of the traditional Moari war dance!

VOTES FOR SCHOOLS!

It is always great to see the mass participation of Y7 at STWA involved in @votesforschools every week and this week was no different as they were posed the question of ‘Is global politics relevant to you?’

[Josh Walker @JCW93]

And what a day it was!

[Josh Walker @JCW93]

STWA PANTOMIME TRIP! 🎭

Today we took the whole Y7 cohort to watch Cinderrela at @castindoncaster and what a great afternoon it was!

Pupils were outstanding in the audience and some staff members even had a cameo appearance on stage!

STWA CHRISTMAS BAKE OFF! 🎄 🧁

This year my daughter and I entered the STWA Christmas baking competition and walked away with the Principles Winner!

Watch out @BritishBakeOff we are coming for you in the future!

Thank you @macca_mjm!

[Matthew McDonald @macca_mjm]

Really simple.

Good coffee. Good food. Good fun and time.

In our November Inset we always give staff unstructured time to just talk. Human connections matter to us.

Brilliant day with brilliant people.

[Josh Walker @JCW93]

Great to see former pupils achieving success in sport! Go well Luke!

TRIP SUCCESS!

Another successful trip to watch a sporting fixture and this time it was the turn of @EnglandRugby v @fijirugby at @allianz_stad, in which 28 @STWAcademy pupils thoroughly enjoyed their exceptional experience!

[Josh Walker @JCW93]

Truly inspirational speech this morning from Baroness Sue Campbell on how she changed the Sport & Physical Activity across England from grassroots to Elite sport as well as what educators can do to support! A full circle moment after studying her work whilst at @sheffhallamuni!

[Josh Walker @JCW93]

HALF TERM ONE ✅

It was great to finish the half-term with Half Term Heroes for Y7! It was amazing to see the celebration of the whole year group. The suprise and shock on the winners faces who were nominated by their teachers was incredible to see!
