Dear Parent/Carer,

Our in-school F1 team, DareDevil Racing, are hosting a Year 7 Halloween Disco to raise funds for their upcoming competition.

We hosted a similar event last year and all who attended had a great time, which is why we've decided to do it for our new Year 7's.

Below is some key information about the event, if you have any further questions please contact Mr Lindsay on the following email address: alindsay@bruntsacademy.org

We hope your son/daughter can attend and we look forward to having a spook-tacular evening!

When is it? Thursday 16th October 5:30pm-7:00pm

Who can come? Only year 7 – but tickets are limited!

How much will it cost? £2 a ticket

Will I need to bring some money with me? We will have a tuck shop, raffle, hot food stall so £5 at most will be plenty!

Do I have to wear fancy dress? You don’t have to, but it is encouraged – and there will be a prize for the best costume!

Mr Lindsay

Our Creative Media Production students have been diving into the world of print media to spark inspiration for their own product designs. From bold layouts to subtle colour palettes, they've been analysing every detail - fonts, imagery and composition.

It’s been amazing to see their creativity flourish as they share their thoughts and opinions on what works, what doesn’t, and how they plan to adapt what they found for their own work.

Year 8 students have made a great start to their Library lessons this year.

Throughout this year, they'll be exploring themes, characters, genre, how to write book reviews and making predictions as well as looking at non-fiction books.

Their target is to keep improving their reading and add more titles to the list of books they've enjoyed. We're also asking students to read independently at home and complete their Reading Log ready for their next Library lesson.

I’m delighted to share details of Framework’s Christmas Art Competition 2025 – and we’d love your students to get involved!

The competition is open to children and young people aged 16 and under, with winners in each age category receiving a £30 art voucher. The overall winner’s design will become Framework’s official Christmas card, sent to our supporters this festive season.

📅 Deadline for entries: Monday 3rd November (This is just after half term, so it could also work as a fun half-term task to set your pupils.)

I’ve attached a flyer/poster with full details, but here are the key links for ease:

Submit artwork online: Art Competition 25 - Framework Housing Association

Facebook event (for sharing with staff or parents): https://fb.me/e/6vcBRTB4q

Thank you so much for your support – we can’t wait to see the creativity from students! And of course, if you have any questions please just ask - I'm always here to help.

Parents across the UK are being urged by the government to read more - by themselves and with their children - in a bid to reverse a national decline in reading for pleasure (please click on the image to read the full report).

At Brunts, we prioritise reading and recognise how vital it is to encourage children to read to improve their outcomes. Still, there is plenty of work to be done together to ensure our children are getting the most from our reading opportunities.

From September 2025, we'll be involving parents of Year 7 and Year 8 students in their weekly Library lessons and asking them to communicate with their child about reading, along with completing a reading log (please see the 'Letters to Parents' menu for further information).

We've got plenty of other reading events, competitions and rewards coming up to give all students the confidence to enjoy reading, regardless of their ability. Watch this space!
