Super Learning Day: An Inspiring Celebration of Opportunity, Aspiration and Real-World Learning
On Wednesday 28th January 2026, our Academy proudly hosted a truly memorable Super Learning Day – an enriching and inspiring experience that brought learning to life for pupils across all year groups. The day was designed to broaden horizons, raise aspirations and provide meaningful, real-world learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Thanks to the outstanding commitment of staff, external partners and visiting professionals, the event was an overwhelming success.
Throughout the day, pupils participated in a carefully planned programme of workshops, talks and interactive sessions, rotating through activities tailored to their year group.

Pupils were also thrilled to take part in a large-scale tower-building challenge led by Willmott Dixon, where teamwork, communication and resilience were key to success.
