A massive well done to our students who participated in the Countesthorpe Family of Schools Dance Festival! We’re so proud of each of them for giving their best and showcasing their amazing talent. 🌟
It was also a joy to welcome our local primary schools into the academy to share their dance performances—continuing a wonderful tradition that’s been going strong for 30 years! 🎉👏
Please join us in congratulating everyone on their incredible performances. Thank you and well done to all involved! 🙌

Congratulations to the winners of our first in-house Fall Guys eSports Competition!
Well done to our Year 7 “Four Ties” eSports team for winning our first ever in house eSports tournament on Fall Guys.
Over the last half term students attending our after school eSports club have developed their gaming knowledge, tactics and team working skills on our selected game of the term, Fall Guys. Each week the students built on the skills they had developed and took their gaming skills to the next level in preparation of our final challenge – our in-house tournament.
In groups of 2 to 5, six teams battled over a number of rounds and then finals to compete for our Fall Guys trophy and to be crowned top gamers of the term.
Well done to all the students who took part. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm, and also see the students all working together to improve their skills by sharing their knowledge and learn to work together in teams to achieve their goal.
eSports club is open to Years 7 and 8 and held on Wednesdays after school. While there are a limited number of places, students wishing to take part can register their interest and be added to the waiting list by completing this form – https://forms.office.com/e/jgKR3R0zaJ
