Welcome Back to the final half term of this academic year
I am delighted that this year we are bringing back Activities Days. It is important to us that students get a wealth of experiences at school including a chance to take part in different activities with their peer group that they might not otherwise experience. I would like to thank Miss Kersey who has been instrumental in designing and organising the programme for this year. It has been a massive task but she has done it with her usual passion and determination!
We also look forward to our annual Sport Awards evening which recognises the massive part that Sport and PE play in the life of our academy. Once again, many students have been invited to attend because of the highly valued contribution that they make to individual and team sports.
Whilst academic success is important, it is just as important that we create strong minded, independent students who have the character, resilience and determination to be successful in the real world. We continue to look at all aspects of our curriculum and extra-curricular offer to make sure we are offering something for everyone and being the best version of Sprowston Community Academy that we can be.
Have a great half term.

Geography Field Trips 2019
We have had a very busy few weeks in the Geography department – with 5 trips going out of school in the last 3 weeks. Years 12, 10 and 7 have been lucky enough to take their learning outside of the classroom.
Sixth Form students have visited Cromer & Winterton beaches and Norwich City Centre. They have been collecting data and testing hypothesise about sediment movement, sand dune formation and clone towns. Students have taken part as they soon begin their A Level coursework. These field trips have helped them to decide the theme of their investigation and helped them to choose a title. Good luck with yours coursework.

Young people from any background and any walk of life can be inspirational role models.

Revision and Exam Programme 2019
Year 11 students will follow this Revision and Exam programme from Monday 13th May during the exam period instead of just their normal timetable.
The programme outlines the details of the final revision sessions offered directly before their exams, as well as the times of the exams themselves.
Students need to highlight the subjects that they are entered for, and carefully follow this making sure they are in the correct place – either in an exam, a revision session, or their normal lesson.
Best of luck to all Year 11s over this period of time.
