Rewards Trip to Cineworld

Yesterday, 100 of our young people had the opportunity to go down to watch the movie; Fantastic Beasts. We would like to thank Cineworld for their hospitality and allowing us our very own screen!

The students were fantastic throughout the whole time and conducted themselves well representing Rushden Academy in our community. These students were awarded this opportunity for their attendance and their efforts within lessons whilst also being in the Top 20 for Achievement Points.

We have our next attendance reward coming this summer alongside the reward trips. This one has no limits on the amount of students who can attend so keep an eye out on what it is and how to be part of it! It will be announced shortly!

Women into STEAM

The science department took 52 girls on a trip to the University of Northampton to the Women in Science Technology Engineering Accountancy and Maths (STEAM) event.

There were over 50 different careers stalls all offering interactive and engaging activities including;

 the Ben and Jerry's challenge from Unilever

 making sherbet with Scott Bader

 seeing robots

 airbrushing from Northampton college

 and lots more

The students also had a tour of the UON campus and a workshop where they looked at Vauxhall car design or go karts. This fantastic opportunity helped raise awareness and confidence in students which we lovely to see throughout the day.

The girls completed surveys at the start and end of the day which showed a massive increase in the number of students wanting to attend university without the worries they had at the start of the day.

It was wonderful to see the girls imagining themselves going to university and their behaviour was impeccable.

Isobel won a competition beating over 750 students from other schools to build the best structurally sound structure out of lolly sticks!

We also had a team of students who scored joint second out of all the teams of the day to build a go kart without instructions in the quickest time.
