Every Friday at Countesthorpe Academy, we take a moment to shine a spotlight on the students who truly embody our values of Respect, Resilience, and Success. 🌟
This week, Mrs Aitcheson welcomed a group of incredible students for a well-deserved treat and a chat over hot chocolate (and even a few milkshakes!). Whether it’s showing kindness, going the extra mile in class, or representing CA with pride, these students are making a difference — and we couldn’t be prouder. 💙
👏 Let’s give a big round of applause to this week’s nominees — you inspire us all!

Please be reminded that we will close early on Thursday 26th 2025 at 2pm.
Buses will depart at 2:10pm.
We will have six lessons as normal, with each lesson being slightly shorter than normal to allow for the early finish, meaning that your child will have the same timetabled lessons for that day.

Countesthorpe Academy is proud to celebrate the achievements of our 6 Chemistry students who participated in the first round of the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad.
These students faced a challenging two-hour paper, applying their A-level Chemistry knowledge to unfamiliar contexts.
Since September, they have been preparing diligently, attending a weekly lunchtime club to enhance their skills. Their dedication has led to impressive results: one bronze, three silver (top third of entrants), and one gold certificate (top 8%). 🏅
The accomplishments reflect the students’ hard work, intellectual curiosity, and passion for Chemistry. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all participants for their exceptional performance and for representing Countesthorpe Academy with distinction.
Well done to all our students! 🌟👏
