Delta Stars

The personal development layer of our curriculum provides our children with a huge range of experiences that they may not have access to outside of school. We want all of our children to enrich their cultural capital and experience awe and wonder through different events and adventures.

The Delta Stars scheme sees each child have a beautiful, personal folder which they use to collect the landmarks on their journey. These are represented by amazing cards which all stand for a range of different skills. Children are rewarded for their success by achieving the coveted shiny cards when they collect a set number of their cards.

The folders follow our children on their journey through school so, once at the end of year 6, they have an incredible collection of their amazing achievements.

Our exceptional choir is led by the very talented Miss Leggett. The choir has an active say n the songs that are chosen so they have real ownership of the direction of the group. Our choir has won awards for its singing and even qualified for the Music for Youth national finals in Birmingham! Closer to home, our choir bring joy to our community through their beautiful singing.

All the children in school produced a piece of artwork in the style of a famous artist. The artwork was then displayed in the hall. Our parents/ carers and members of the community were invited to view the art at a special exhibition.

Our trained practitioners deliver learner-led exploration and discovery with our pupils. Through a range of experiences they nurture meaningful experiences for positive lifelong impacts. Working alongside the Queen’s Canopy project and the Royal Horticultural Society, our academy is greener than ever and even boasts its very own tiny forest!

We work with our friends at the Co-op on a range of projects including our very successful soft plastic recycling scheme. We encourage our pupils to take pride in their communities and we plan many events to support local community projects which include litter picking, the DN7 foodbank and the St. Lawrence Church uniform bank.
