Dear KS3,
Welcome to the first edition of your Student Newsletter.
We came up with an idea to have a KS3 Student Newsletter, which would include news items about the Academy, sporting headlines and results, entertainment news, interviews and upcoming events.
However, we need your help to get started. We would like you to submit any ideas for articles that you would like us to include in our second edition through the student zone on the Academy website. This can include: funny things that have happened in the classroom, jokes (make sure they are appropriate), any fund raising activities that you have been or are involved in or any other ideas.
