Great Park Academy

Year 9 English pupils at Great Park Academy have been taking inspiration from the school's surrounding area for writing poetry about nature and freedom. They considered the trees, flowers, birds and natural elements within the school grounds as part of their planning process, then headed back to the classroom to write up their poems. Watch this space for the next generation of poets! #GreatParkAcademy #gosforthgroup #CreatingFutures #FuturePoets #learningoutsidetheclassroom

Fieldwork in the sunshine! Recently, Year 8 students took their learning outdoors to explore the ecosystems on our brand-new school site. Armed with quadrats and transect lines, they investigated how plants and other organisms are distributed across different areas. From randomly placing quadrats to record species diversity, to stretching transect lines to observe changes in habitats, students worked like real ecologists, collecting data, spotting patterns, and asking brilliant questions along the way. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm, teamwork, and curiosity, especially under blue skies and bright sunshine! #Fieldwork #ScienceInAction #OutdoorLearning #Year8 #STEM #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #GreatParkAcademy

Fantastic dedication from our Year 10 pupils! Approximately 30 of our hardworking Year 10 students gave up part of their half-term break to attend an extra revision session in preparation for their end-of-year exams. This level of commitment and motivation is truly commendable! With less than a year to go until they begin their GCSE exams for real, it's brilliant to see so many of them already developing strong study habits and taking ownership of their learning. These sessions not only build knowledge but also confidence, an essential ingredient for success. A huge well done to everyone involved - keep up the great work! #GCSEPreparation #ExamReady #ProudMoment #WellDone #HardWorkPaysOff #RevisionTime #ExamSuccess #GreatParkAcademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures

Supporting our pupils to feel safe and confident Earlier this term, our Key Stage 2 pupils took part in the NSPCC's 'Speak Out. Stay Safe' programme, helping them learn how to recognise worries, identify trusted adults, and understand the importance of speaking out. Following the assembly, pupils engaged in a range of activities designed to deepen their understanding of safeguarding, build awareness of trusted relationships, and reinforce the importance of speaking out if they feel worried or unsafe. This valuable experience helped to empower children with the knowledge and confidence to seek support when needed.
