This year, we are holding our Open Day on Saturday 11th October.

We are proud to announce that our guest of honour will be former England captain and Blackpool FC legend Jimmy Armfield, who will officially open our newly refurbished all-through Academy at approximately 10:30am.

 

Since becoming a sponsored Academy, building work has now finally finished, resulting in the complete transformation of our schools facilities, a £9.5 million investment.

 

As well as being able to fully explore our Academy, and have any questions you may have answered, there will be lots of various activities going on in which everyone will be able to take part in.

Some of these activities include:

  • PE Dept – Lots of different sporting activities inside our Gym and our new Sports Hall, as well as lots more outside on our MUGA facility and school fields
  • Dance – View our stunning dance studio, participate and watch live demonstrations
  • Music – Lots of instrumental tasks and the opportunity to talk music with our both our music teacher and violin teacher
  • Computing – Design your very own label to be printed and stuck onto a piece of Unity Rock to take home!
  • Science – Crime Scene Investigation - Use different scientific methods to find out who the murderer is!
  • Food Tech – Put on an apron and cook your very own baguette pizza and flapjacks!
  • History – Be a history detective with “Blood on the cathedral floor”
  • Art – Use artistic writing to produce graffiti style artwork
  • Design Tech – Come and witness our new technology and take away a laser cut key ring that you can personalise in textiles
  • Construction – Manufacture your very own cam toy to take home!
  • Our Primary will also have lots of exciting activities going on for all the little ones! Including a BOUNCY CASTLE, a BOUNCY SLIDE, MASK MAKING, STRUCTURE BUILDING, IPAD ACTIVITIES and much more!

 

Hot Dogs and refreshments will be available and provided free of charge!
