Year 9 English pupils at Great Park Academy have been taking inspiration from the school's surrounding area for writing poetry about nature and freedom. They considered the trees, flowers, birds and natural elements within the school grounds as part of their planning process, then headed back to the classroom to write up their poems. Watch this space for the next generation of poets! #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #GreatParkAcademy #FuturePoets #learningoutside #Year9

Supporting our pupils to feel safe and confident Earlier this term, Great Park Academy KS2 pupils took part in the NSPCC's 'Speak Out. Stay Safe' programme, helping them learn how to recognise worries, identify trusted adults, and understand the importance of speaking out. Following the assembly, pupils engaged in a range of activities designed to deepen their understanding of safeguarding, build awareness of trusted relationships, and reinforce the importance of speaking out if they feel worried or unsafe. This valuable experience helped to empower children with the knowledge and confidence to seek support when needed.
