Farnborough Spencer Academy

🚪✨ Our teachers are always ready to welcome students into their classrooms at the start of every lesson.

👋 One of our core routines is for teachers to stand on their threshold, greeting students as they arrive, handing out knowledge retrieval tasks, and helping to ensure our corridors remain calm and purposeful.

🔬🧪 Team Science are modelling this perfectly here – setting the tone for success from the very first moment of the lesson! 👏🌟

‼️Attention Year 11‼️

📚🧪👩🏽‍🔬Join us for a Biology Paper 2 Revision Session tomorrow, Sunday 7th June 10am - 12pm in the Main Hall as we prepare you for the exam on Monday.

Before half term, our very own Mr Baines had the honour of attending a special Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, celebrating 70 years of the Duke of Edinburgh Award 🎉

Traditionally, these events are held to recognise those who have achieved their Gold Award. However, this year's celebration was dedicated to the volunteers whose commitment, guidance and support have helped countless young people reach this significant milestone over the years. 🤝✨

Held in the beautiful gardens of Buckingham Palace, the event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible impact that volunteers have on the lives of young people across the UK 🇬🇧.

👏 We are incredibly proud that Mr Baines was chosen to represent our school at this prestigious event and to celebrate the invaluable contribution volunteers make to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award programme.

It was great to welcome everyone back yesterday. We kickstarted the day with reset assemblies to ensure a productive start to the final half term of the year! ⭐️

💛 These three wonderful students purchased a Headteachers Afternoon Tea with their achievement points at the ProudPay shop last half term and on Monday they sat down with Mrs Barker to enjoy their treat!

⭐️An ambitious day ahead…

📚✏️ Our Year 8 and 9 students will be completing their Maths exam in the sports hall - this is a fantastic opportunity to shine and show everything they have learned this year. These assessments are important as the results will help inform student sets for the next academic year.

➕ Year 9 Calculator – Friday AM
➕ Year 8 Calculator – Friday PM

✏️📚 Our Year 11 students will continue to work hard in lessons today where they will focus on key topics that are highly likely to come up in exams. They will also be able to make the most of extra intervention and revision resources which they can take home to use over half-term.
