On the 17th November students and staff at Ken Stimpson Academy put in their all and raised a staggering £1434.17 for Children in Need!
Donations were given to wear non-school uniform and everyone received a double break to explore the stalls and activities on offer.
Students in Years 7, 8 and Post 16 hosted a fundraising event in the Sports Hall which featured hit the target, name the teddy bear and an impressive bake sale. It was great to see the whole school come together as a community donate not only their money but their time.
Well Done everyone on this achievement!

This week, we've taken a stand against bullying with engaging assemblies that inspire unity, empathy, and kindness. Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment for every student.
Highlights from the assemblies included readings and a drama performance piece from students in different year groups – thank you and well done to those involved!
Please continue this important dialogue at home. Ask your child about their experiences and share your insights on promoting kindness and understanding. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our school community.
Under discussion at this month's BookClub was The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, a quite long and not-altogether happy read as you would expect from the theme, content and historical setting.
The new books given out were The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare for Years 7 and 8 and A Terrible Kindness by Jo Browning Wroe for the older students. This latter novel is based on the Aberfan disaster of 1966 when a colliery tip engulfed the Pantglas Primary School killing 116 children and 28 adults.
Book Club is now being attended by representatives from all Year groups which is really heartening. The reading initiatives within the school are clearly paying off. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 13th December so why not pop along!
On Monday we emailed home a letter outlining our plans for this Friday's Children in Need events - you can also view this letter here https://www.kscs.org.uk/13th-november-2023-children-need
