It was incredibly moving to see the entire Academy come together for our Remembrance Service on November 10th. It is not always easy to bring together whole schools at once but there are certain occasions throughout the year when we feel it is essential, and our Remembrance Service in one of the most poignant.
On 6th November 2017, the 800th anniversary of the 1217 Charter of the Forest, the Academy joined thousands of people around the nation who have signed up for the new Charter for Trees, Woods and People. This was initiated in 2015 by the Woodland Trust in response to the crisis facing trees and woods in the UK. The charter will bring new rights for people in the UK to enjoy the benefits of trees, woods and forests.

Over two hundred Year 6 students, who have successfully secured a place to join the Ruskin family in Year 7 from September, joined us for a jam-packed transition day yesterday (4th July). The day started with a welcome assembly from Ms Wyles, with students then joining their form group for a tour of the Academy and to spend some time getting to know the new faces they will be spending, we are sure, seven very happy years with! Students filled out their ‘Ruskin leaves’ on which they detail their aspiration and dreams for the future, these will be revisited at various points during their years with us as we see them grow and flourish.
