Busy Autumn Term

The Autumn term is always a busy one in schools. Wreake Valley Academy’s new Headteacher, Ben Rackley is keen to share some of the activities that have been happening at Wreake and Bradgate Sixth Form.
The students have been working hard in their lessons across the school. The sixth form students have been entering their early applications for universities. Already one has been offered an interview at Cambridge!
In Year 10 the most able students have started the Baby Elephant programme which has been designed to enable students to achieve the highest possible grades to support them on the next step of their journey
The new Year 7 students have settled in well, enjoying the wealth of resources and opportunities Wreake have on offer for their students.
At Wreake the students are encouraged to make the most of the opportunities that are on offer to them, from the countless trips to places such as De Montfort University, Hunstanton and the National Arboretum or the opportunities within the school such as sports team, or the latest drama production.
This year students are performing Made in Dagenham, they are looking forward to welcoming parents and the wider community to see this in February.
Carla Connolley, Head of Performing Arts said: “There is something to appeal to all the students, to allow them to develop their passions and create memories that they will carry with them for a lifetime.”
There is also some large investment by the Bradgate Education Partnership Trust in the building itself at Wreake, with the renovation of a suite of classrooms, and library space. Such investment will only benefit the students and wider community as Wreake continues to provide a space for the community to come together to learn, celebrate and succeed.

Let’s celebrate!
Sonia Pope – Deputy Head of school said: “We want to celebrate the amazing achievements of our young people within our school community. It is fantastic to hear about the competition that a young person has been involved in, a new skill they have accomplished or just something that a young person should be very proud of!”
“We want to encourage you to share those achievements with us by emailing achievement@wreake.bepschools.org so we can celebrate these wonderful milestones”
