Ken Stimpson Academy’s flags have made it to Antarctica!
Designed by our very own Eco Club, the flags were taken to Antarctica by Millie Bond, a meteorological observer and technician with the British Antarctic Survey.
The photograph was taken outside the Halley VI research station - you can find out lots more information about this here - https://www.bas.ac.uk/polar-operations/sites-and-facilities/facility/halley
Congratulations to the members of our Eco Club!
In September, over 30 students auditioned for our talent show! In December, 11 acts performed in the KSA's Got Talent Final, an absolutely incredible evening! Our audience was fantastic and enjoyed a wonderful show led by our compères, Mr Housley, Mrs Willoughby, Anastasia Szasz and Darren Darwesh. Our judges, Thomas Ward, Jen Sothmann, and Mr Akhtar, kept us all in suspense before naming the winners.
Well done to our winning students this year:
Mrs Fowkes and Mrs Greeves were named our winning staff members amid some tough competition!
A huge well done to all of our performers from Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14, and our staff acts: Mr Billson, Mr Conor, Mr Ahmed, Mr Tillson, Mr Quinn, and Mr Winlock.
We cannot wait to see what talent 2025 brings!
Thank you to Mr Butterworth, Mrs Eldred, and Oscar too, for lights, sound, and keeping everything organised front of house!
Mrs Purdy, Ms Ward, Mr Billitt, and Ms Barben

What better way to celebrate the end of term than with our Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4/5 assemblies? We've enjoyed festive cheer and showcased the amazing talents of some of our students and staff as we reflected on our achievements this term and looked ahead to a bright new year filled with exciting prospects!
Last week our Year 9 Sports Students hosted an event for Werrington Primary students. This was a project they had been working on since the start of September, preparing their understanding of the different events they each had to lead. Some students took on lead roles, from the Chair who led the event to those leading each activity, talking to the primary school students and ensuring the event ran smoothly. The students who chose to lead the scoring were also particularly busy on the day, inputting hundreds of scoresheets into the laptop for analysis.
Overall the event was a huge success and the students enjoyed the responsibility of organising and leading the event for the younger students, well done everyone!
