School will be closed to pupils and staff today due to adverse weather conditions. All of today's prelims will be rescheduled.

Last year, The English Dept. and The Art & Design Dept. ran a project focused on the many issues of racism.  The project had pupils from different year groups producing written work and art works exploring racism, civil rights, equality and even the Academy’s own history where it linked to Caribbean plantations & the slave trade.  An exhibition of this work was staged within the school.

The project was linked with a creative showcase organised by Show Racism the Red Card and the EIS.  Several examples of pupil work were submitted to their on-line showcase.

This work can now be viewed  here

This year, we’re arranging a Christmas Dress Drive collecting “gently used” wear for our Christmas dances. We are seeking donations of dresses, shirts, suits, jumpsuits and formal attire for the festive season in any size.

We would like to ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the dances and the drive offers a chance for the school community to give back and spread holiday cheer. By reusing and repurposing clothing, this drive helps reduce waste and gives new life to gently worn items whilst also promoting a sustainable, cost effective and eco-friendly approach to holiday festive attire.

Donations can be dropped off at designated locations during the collection period and then available items will be shared by a senior group of pupils via social media and a collection point in school. Items can be altered if needed to ensure a perfect fit kindly provided by our own home economics department.

We hope to help spread holiday joy through this meaningful initiative.

S5/6 PARENTS EVENING - As we have the senior parents evening approaching, please consider any items you may wish to donate and take them along with you. A donation box will be available in the main atrium as you sign in to parents evening.
