Settling in ready for Young Voices rehearsals!! (Those not pictured are on a last-minute toilet break!)

Join us in wishing our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils the very best of luck for their Young Voices performance at Wembley on Tuesday 3rd February! Our amazing students have been working incredibly hard over the past few months, putting in endless enthusiasm and effort during rehearsals. Their dedication has truly paid off they are sounding absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't be prouder of everything they've achieved. Taking part in Young Voices is an unforgettable experience, and we know they will shine on the Wembley stage. It's a wonderful opportunity for them to showcase their talent, build confidence, and make memories that will last a lifetime. We can't wait to hear all about their big day and celebrate their success when they return. Good luck Year 5 and Year 6 you are all absolute superstars!

Do you have some spare time and a passion for helping others? We would love to hear from you! We are looking for enthusiastic and patient volunteers to support our pupils with their reading in school. If you can spare 30 minutes or more, your time could make a real difference. By coming in to listen to children read, you'll be helping them build confidence, develop essential skills, and get the most out of their learning. This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of our school community and play a meaningful role in supporting our young learners. Even a small amount of your time is incredibly valuable and greatly appreciated. If you are interested in becoming a reading volunteer, please contact the school office: office@bpa.act-academytrust.org to complete a volunteer form. We would be delighted to welcome you into our team!
