On Monday 09, Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 February 2015, All Saints Academy performed its annual school production – this year, the Wizard of OZ.

Students were incredible during rehearsals and performed two fantastic evening shows, as well as a matinee show for children from local feeder schools.

For all involved it has been an amazing experience and as Head of Production I can honestly say I am truly proud to have worked with such talented young stars!

A huge thank you to all students and staff who made the performances possible.

On Wednesday 30th of January the year 12 BTEC Art group participated in a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to help generate ideas for their Alice In Wonderland project.

The students are all working towards a BTEC Level 3 qualification in Art and Design and have to work to briefs that simulate real industry experience. In this instance, students are designing a book cover for Lewis Carroll’s famous story.

All students had the opportunity to use the potter’s wheel to create their own cup for the tea party which was decorated with paints and glazes to reflect the nature of the story.

All of the students fully participated with costumes and activities leading to interesting, successful outcomes. Even Miss Anton came along and joined in with a Mad Hatter’s hat!

Just before Easter, 6 year 9 students had work selected for an open exhibition at Luton Hoo Walled Garden. The opening evening was really busy and it was lovely to see the students and parents there. Well done to Georgia Fanelli, Rhianne Harvey, Courtney Humphries, Josh Schliebe, Caitlyn Ferrari and Penny Kearey. You should all be proud of your work and your selection for the exhibition. All other pieces by schools were produced by sixth formers and university students so to see the work of year 9 students holding their own against much more experienced artists was a very proud moment. Particular congratulations go to Josh Schliebe who won 3rd prize as judged by the head of Art at the University of Bedfordshire.

The Year 11 Prom was held at Putteridge Bury in Luton on Friday 28 June 2013 and was a hugely successful event, and attended by a record number of students.

Mrs Spicer, KS4 Achievement Leader, was particularly proud of the way in which the students behaved and said

‘All of our students made a real effort to look as glamorous as possible and it was a privilege to host the occasion for these now young ladies and gentlemen.

It was a great way to celebrate the milestone as these young people move on to pastures new, although a record of number of students are returning to the Academy’s Sixth Form’.

We were joined by over 100 Year 5 children from Houghton Regis Primary Schools (Hawthorn Park, Houghton Regis Primary, Thomas Whitehead, Thornhill and Tithe Farm) who, led by All Saints’ student Sports Leaders, took part in a range of team-building activities and football and hockey tournaments.

Aaron Mays (Head Boy) and Rachael Elmes (Prefect) spoke briefly to welcome and introduce Bill Rammell who spoke about the partnership between the University and All Saints.

After the event Bill said “I was delighted to take part in the Official Opening and to meet so many of the students who will benefit from the new modern facilities. The relationship between All Saints and the University of Bedfordshire goes from strength to strength. We are proud to share in your success – on the sports field, in the classroom and in the recent tremendous exam results. The results at All Saints keep rising and rising – there should be no limit to our ambitions. Well done to everyone involved and I look forward to cheering all the sports victories to come!”

An enjoyable day was had by all.

THE OLYMPICS COME TO ALL SAINTS!

All Saints Academy Olympic Day – Tuesday 20 March 2012

1-114x300

All Saints Academy held an Olympic Day on Tuesday 20 March 2012. All students were involved in activities across Curriculum Areas which relate to the Olympics. The purpose of the day was to make all students aware of the Olympics and experience different aspects of how they could be involved; it’s not just about Sport!

“………the important thing in life is not to triumph but to compete……..not victory but combat…….not to have vanquished but to have fought well…..not winning but taking part…..” – Pierre de Coubertin (the founder of the modern Olympic Games).

Activities were run by teachers in Curriculum Areas along with assistance from Sixth Form students taking those subjects. A taste of the activities on offer were creating logos and mascots in ICT; enacting the opening and closing ceremony in Dance and Drama; investigating the Science of the swimming pool; Media and Marketing; investigating Olympic venue sites in Business Studies; History of Olympics; Olympic gods and goddesses translated into poetry; and studying the Olympic record trends in Maths.

The Olympic values were very much in evidence throughout the day:  Respect, Courage, Friendship, Determination, Equality, Excellence and Inspiration.

“My favourite was the posters, and it was great seeing some of the staff dressing up” – Year 9 student

Everyone at All Saints Academy is now inspired to get involved in more Sport, and taking part in these activities has raised enthusiasm and awareness in the run up to the Olympics London 2012.
