Today we held our first Headteacher's Commendation of the year with three very well-deserving students!
"Goes above and beyond in her own time to improve her language skills", "Works hard and is dedicated to doing the best he can in Maths" and "Incredibly hard working" are just some of the comments from their teachers.
Well done everyone and keep up the fantastic work!
Ken Stimpson Academy’s flag has made it to Antarctica.
It travelled with Derron Fox, a zoological field assistant at Signy Research Station, Signy Island.
The photographs were taken on Signy Island, in the background are some Adelie and Chinstrap Penguins. Derron is very lucky to work so closely with the penguins as part of his job. Signy Research Station is one of Britain's smallest stations and it is only occupied in the Antarctic Summer. Research at Signy focuses on the bird populations and terrestrial ecology. Signy Island is one of the remote South Orkney Islands, 1300km from the Falkland Islands and 600km from the Antarctic Peninsula.
Congratulations to the Geography Club.
