On the 27th February, 32 S5/6 Grove pupils hit London town for a 4 day visit organised by Social Subjects. This is what a few of those on the trip had to say about their London experience:

“London was a trip of a lifetime.  On the first day we were lucky enough to see ‘Wicked’ in the West End and it was such a fantastic experience with incredible singers and actors.  The next day we visited the UK Parliament which had great architecture.  The iconic Big Ben tower stood tall as we walked around the parliament, the historic interior was amazing.  We also went on the London Eye which has stunning views of London’s skyline.  On the third day we explored the Imperial War Museum which was both educational and moving.  We also went to Covent Garden which was filled with amazing food restaurants and high-end fashion retailers.  The day ended with an eerie Jack the Ripper Walking tour and a boat ride home along the Thames. On the last day we went to Camden Market which was buzzing with people and had great food places.  We had quite a few trips on the Tube while we were in London  and it was certainly an experience!  Every moment of this trip was filled with excitement and new experiences that I am sure everyone will cherish forever.” – Megan, Carla, Lauren & Aisha (S5)

The Easter Holidays already feel like a long time ago as we are now at the end of week 4 of our last term of this session. This term we have already said an emotional farewell to our S6 with an amazing day of presentations, speeches, shirt signing, hoody wearing, pizza eating and colour run fun. This was all in an incredibly positive and celebratory atmosphere which our learners were commended for.

We are currently in the middle of the SQA exam diet for our S4-6 learners who are currently on Study Leave but whom are taking advantage of the Study Days that are on offer for them for the 2 days immediately before each exam. Attendance and engagement with these sessions has been very high and feedback extremely positive regarding how valuable these sessions have been.

Half of our S3 learners are currently enjoying a taste of life outside of school as they partake in a Work Experience opportunity, with the other half of the year group going next week. This is an extremely valuable experience for our learners as they begin to consider a potential career path for their time beyond the doors of Grove Academy. A huge thank you to all our school community partners that support this opportunity by providing such a broad and supported range of placements for our learners, it is hugely appreciated.

We ended last term with a Collaborative Improvement Visit which involved 9 members of staff from across the local authority spending 3 days in our school and engaging in a wide range of activities with our learners, staff and parents/carers. This visit proved to be extremely useful in supporting us on our continuous improvement journey. The full report is still be received, and will be shared with all members of our school community when possible, however work is underway to address some of the improvement areas identified by this visit, which you will be invited to engage with in the coming weeks.

All of our whole school development and support for learners is undertaken with our core values at heart of Commitment, Ambition, Respect and Equity and with a focus on our agreed purpose to “prepare our learners for a successful future”.

Take Care
