Another week of tasty lunches at Countesthorpe Academy. This week there is Chicken Strips, Sausages, Roast beef, Veggie pie, and cheese burgers on offer, plus our usual selection of sandwiches and pasta. 😋
Today we celebrated with our amazing students who were nominated for brilliant teamwork and for being outstanding role models. Some of them went above and beyond as Sports Ambassadors, supporting primary school pupils and showing what leadership looks like in action.
👏 A huge well done to everyone involved—you make our school proud!

This week, our incredible Stephen Lawrence Ambassadors led a powerful series of assemblies across the school, helping us all reflect on the importance of Black History Month.
Through thoughtful presentations, they explored:
✨ What Black History Month is
✨ Why it matters to everyone
✨ How we can learn from Black history
Their leadership, passion, and commitment to equality and education truly inspired us all. These students are not only ambassadors in name — they are role models in action. 🙌
Thank you for helping us build a more inclusive and informed community. We are proud of you! 💙
