🔴 WEAR RED DAY AT COUNTESTHORP

Today, our school community proudly stood together for Show Racism the Red Card’s national ! 🎒✨

Students joined in by wearing an item of red alongside their school uniform to show our shared commitment to tackling racism.

During today’s whole-school online assembly, Mrs McKenzie spoke about the crucial importance of being actively anti-racist and reminded us all of the role we play in ending racism—both in our school and in the wider community.

Thank you to all our students and staff for showing their support today! Together, we say NO to racism. 🛑❤️

📢 Aspire Lecture Programme

A huge thank you to Ms Howell for delivering an inspiring Aspire Lecture today in the Hive Centre. Students gained valuable insight into her journey from education into a highly successful career in safeguarding and child protection.

The session explored career pathways within safeguarding and public services, the skills and qualities needed to succeed, and the challenges and rewards of supporting vulnerable young people. Most importantly, students heard how career journeys are rarely straightforward and how opportunities can emerge in unexpected ways.

Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged so thoughtfully with the discussion. We hope the lecture has inspired students to continue exploring their future pathways with curiosity and ambition.

At Countesthorpe Academy, empowering our students to become active leaders is at the heart of our approach to preparing students for a bright future.

We had a fantastic start to this year's Pupil Leadership Team meetings, with students working collaboratively to share ideas, identify key improvements, and help shape the future of our school.

Giving students a seat at the table fosters accountability, teamwork, and leadership skills that extend far beyond the classroom. We look forward to supporting their initiatives throughout the academic year!

Inspiring the leaders of tomorrow! 🚀✨

Recently, our ASPIRE students had the pleasure of welcoming Reverend Cameron Wiltshire-Plant for an incredibly moving and thought-provoking session.

Reverend Wiltshire-Plant shared insights into his own life journey, prompting our students to reflect on the paths, choices, and opportunities that shape our futures, from education and university, to career aspirations and personal values 📖💡

It was a powerful reminder that every journey is unique, and every choice counts.

Thank you, Reverend Cameron Wiltshire-Plant, for inspiring our students to dream big and aim high! 🙌
