Today Year 8 students participated in our Guess The Professional event where we welcomed members from Galliford Try, Peterborough City Council, Cross Keys Homes, and CITB. Students were tasked with quizzing the professionals to try and guess their job role and the company they work for. Not as easy as it sounded!
Thank you to all of the professional's who joined us and well done to the students for your excellent guesswork!
A reminder to our Year 8 parents and carers that we are holding our Pathways Evening next Wednesday 7th February.
You can find more details in the letter emailed home on Friday 19th January where you will also find a link to the booking form to book your place for the evening
We began our 'Safer February' campaign with an anti-violence and anti-knife presentation from Alison Cope. Alison is the mother of Joshua Ribera who was stabbed to death in 2013. She now visits schools across the country to share her powerful and thought provoking message, giving information around what we share on social media, its potential impacts and the importance of making good choices and surrounding yourself with good people. Today's assemblies delivered a lasting message of the importance of showing kindness and taking the time to show how important our loved ones are to us.
For more information about Alison and her campaign visit www.AlisonCope.com and if you feel your child requires further support please do get in touch

This week, in conjunction with the St Neots English Centre, we welcome 13 Chinese students along with their teacher from the High School affiliated to Beijing Institute of Education (http://www.bjjyfzh.cn/) and Zhangjia gang City Jiyang Lake Experimental School. The students will integrate into our academy for 1 week.
Students are 'buddied' up with an English student and they will follow their timetable for the time they are with us. This experience allows for both the international students and our students to develop communication skills and to enhance the knowledge of our different cultures.
Welcome to KSA everyone!
Last chance to sign up for tomorrow morning's tour (Thursday 25th January)

We are extremely proud of all of the students who are a real credit to the school.
