Over 150 purple wristbands! 🌟 From captivating drawings and innovative design projects to impressive student test scores — it’s been a joy to celebrate such diverse talents! #ProudMoments #StudentSuccess #weCARE
This week, I've spoken to 143 students who are proud of something they have achieved for our 1st WOW week.
The conversations I enjoy the most are when students are proud of themselves because they have achieved something great,improved & just tried really hard. @QueensburyAcad
Tonight's Christmas Fayre was absolutely brilliant. Our first ever, but it certainly won't be our last. The community has supported this so much. I'm incredibly proud!
The Queensbury Christmas Fayre is in full swing! 🎄✨ So many people are enjoying the incredible Christmas stalls. What a fantastic way to kick off the festive season! #QueensburyChristmas #FestiveFun #weCARE
My favourite bit of today is 4 year 8 girls asking to perform their Red Riding Hood Revolting Rhymes to me as part of our WOW week, then spontaneously bursting into performance in the canteen during lunch, in front of everyone without a care in the world!

We are so privileged to have Marley's Aart Foundation supporting us, a charity so close to our hearts. Our year 7 transition goes beyond September as we continue to build a sense of belonging.
Our Year 7 art therapy sessions kicked off today, thanks to Marley’s Aart Foundation and Create and Communicate with Rochelle. A fantastic opportunity for our students to express themselves and grow creatively. Grateful for this support! #ArtTherapy #Wellbeing #weCARE

It was lovely to have @lang_romina & @lorna_francis1 with us this morning & to listen to our year 7s talk so enthusiastically about @QueensburyAcad. It was also wonderful to hear them demonstrate our care values and asking after staff & students back at @larkriseacademy
@lang_romina and @lorna_francis1 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to @QueensburyAcad today to catch up with some of the Year 7 pupils about how they’ve settled in ❤️ we are looking forward to a return visit where they will be supporting our current Year 6 children with transition

🎉 Open Evening | Thank you to our staff, students, and everyone who attended Open Evening last night. Your support and hard work made the event shine, even through the rain! 🌧️ #Community #Teamwork #OpenEvening #weCARE
I had a great time at @larkriseacademy this afternoon, meeting the Year 6 pupils. I hope to see lots of them at open evening and look forward to being a part of their secondary journey. Thank you to @lang_romina for hosting me, look forward to seeing you at Queensbury next week.
Great to have @MrsPHT from @QueensburyAcad to talk to our Year 6s today about life at Queensbury in preparation for open evening this week. Themes of belonging, trying new things and not making assumptions of others were all discussed 💙
