Dear Parent/Carer,
As seasons change, we join in cheer,
At Countesthorpe Academy, the time is near.
With warmth and laughter, we celebrate all,
Together as one, we stand proud and tall.
From staff and pupils, our wishes take flight,
Embracing joy, under moon’s gentle light.
Seasons greetings to everyone, far and wide,
May peace and happiness forever abide!
We wish you a restful and peaceful Christmas break and a happy and prosperous New Year.
We look forward to welcoming back our students on Tuesday 7th January 2025
🎇Yesterday, our Countesthorpe Academy staff and students enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch!
It was fantastic to see everyone embracing the festive season, creating memories, and celebrating together as a school community.
A huge thank you to our amazing kitchen staff for preparing such a wonderful feast. 🎅🍰
Wishing everyone a joyful and restful Christmas break! 🎁✨
☕⭐The last Hot Choc Friday of the Autumn term on Friday 13th December featured our amazing Year 8 Basketball Team who deserve a huge congratulations! 🏀🎉
What an incredible season they’re having so far! The team has secured three straight wins, showcasing their hard work, determination, and team spirit. Here’s how they’ve dominated the court:
🔥 31-6 vs. Kibworth
🔥 31-7 vs. Robert Smyth
🔥 41-11 vs. Welland Park
With just one group stage game remaining after Christmas, they’ll take on Lutterworth High on Monday, 13th January.
We’re so proud of their fantastic achievements and can’t wait to see them in action again. Keep up the amazing work, team! 👏💪
This is a reminder that we are holding a drop-in collection session tomorrow from 3pm-5pm for GCSE and A-Level certificates.
If you are unable to collect your certificates and wish to nominate someone else, we will require a signed letter from you giving permission.
As we approach the final week of term at Countesthorpe Academy, I wanted to remind you of a few important details before the Christmas break.
School will conclude on Friday, 20th December at 3pm, with school buses departing at their usual times.
On Wednesday, 18th December, we have Christmas Jumper Day. Students are encouraged to wear a festive Christmas jumper in place of their school jumper, though all other uniform requirements remain unchanged. Donations for the Christmas Jumper day can be made via ParentPay.com
Additionally, Christmas dinner will be served on the same day for those students who have purchased a ticket. Please note that while break will be served as usual, no other lunch options will be available except for the ticketed Christmas dinner. Free School Meal Students should have booked their ticket already, and if they do not want the Christmas lunch, should collect an alternative at break time.
Please note that all tickets for Christmas lunch have now been sold.
We hope your child enjoys the festive activities planned for our last week of term, and we trust that you will enjoy a safe and relaxing Christmas and New Year break.
Best Regards,
Mrs C. Aitcheson
Headteacher
Countesthorpe Academy
