Sound It Out
Learners from years 8 and 9 have taken part in an online survey about transport use in Bradford provided by Bradford and Keighley Youth Parliament’s “Sound It Out” team. The aim of the survey was to collect the views of young people in the community regarding public transport. Beenash Faris, BKYP’s representative was very impressed with the quality of opinions expressed by our young citizens and by their positive attitude. |

The session was attended by Di Pardoe who watched presentations put on by the LSIs which demonstrated what they had learned since starting their work in December.

Fair Trade
Mr Thorpe’s year 8 Citizenship students have begun work on an important project which aims to gain the Academy fair trade status. Our learners are investigating fair trade and will begin projects that will hopefully help our learning community become a fair trade community.
Learning Scene Investigators
15 year 9 students have been receiving high quality training in order to become Academy LSIs. On February 1st these students were taken to Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford to take part in their second day of training led by Ms J. White, Mr. Walker and Ms. Tierney. Students took part in sessions which asked them to consider what they would expect to see in a classroom where excellent learning was taking place and what tools they could use to observe and record such learning. The students behaved very professionally and were a credit to the Academy. |
