KAR Newsletter 23/05/2025

Dear parents and carers,

I hope you have had a great week.

As another half-term draws to a close, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support as we head into the final part of the academic year.

Our Year 11's are halfway through their GCSE's. As a group, they have faced the exams with calmness and resilience, and we could not be prouder of their efforts. I know they now see the Prom on the horizon, after a final push after half-term!

You will hopefully see that our social feeds are starting to re-energise, further to Ms Freeborn now arriving for 1 day a week as our marketing lead. Further information regarding our students at the Big Futures Career Fair and the Tide Mills beach Eco visit is now on!

I say this often, but I am a very lucky Principal in that the students at this school are fantastic, and an absolute delight to work with. I frequently receive amazing comments about our students when visitors come into our school. As we sign off for the half-term, I thank you for your support, as so many of our students are meeting our expectations every day, and are a credit to you. We continue to work on ways to highlight the children that get it right every day. 

We have sent out term dates for next year, which I can confirm as follows:

As part of their Jewish studies in KS3, Year 9 observed and took part in a Sabbath meal.  They reflected on the importance of the weekly event in the lives of Jewish teenagers today and its religious significance.  All the students certainly enjoyed the Challah!

We love a good before and after! It's been hard work, but our bramble patch is now a lot more under control. The raised beds we have so far managed to construct in the greenhouse area are looking great! Sadly, not all our seeds have germinated, but we have managed to plant sweetcorn, broccoli, onions and a courgette. 

         

                                                      

Year 7 students were able to harvest and sample radishes this morning. Not to everyone's taste, but they all had a try.



We continue to battle the weeds and are hugely grateful to Mrs Hazlewood for choosing her work voluntary placement with us here at Kings Academy Ringmer - she had been an amazing pair of extra hands.
