The Nicholas Hamond Academy<br />
Leanne Smart who is a student at The Nicholas<br />
Hamond Academy was recently invited to the House<br />
of Commons as a representative of the Iceni Youth<br />
Members Committee. Awards were presented by<br />
Rob Wilson, MP, which celebrated and publically<br />
recognised the contribution of individual young<br />
people and member organisations of the British<br />
Youth Council for their work throughout 2016. The<br />
day also presented an opportunity to bring together<br />
young people and decision makers to engage in<br />
dialogue on decisions that they care about.<br />
Students spent a day preparing and learning ‘all things<br />
Greek’ about the country’s cuisine at The Nicholas<br />
Hamond Academy recently. They tackled all sorts of<br />
dishes such as moussaka, tzatziki, Greek salad and<br />
souvlakia. Once their hard work was finished all that<br />
was left was to tuck in for the ‘taste test’.<br />
The Nicholas Hamond Academy hosted its annual<br />
Sports Awards Evening on the 8th March. Students<br />
were recognised for either progress or exceptional<br />
performance in a wide range of sports over the past<br />
year. As part of the evening the academy welcomed<br />
guest speaker ex-British No.3 tennis player, Jade<br />
Windley. Jade, who has won 3 singles and 16 doubles<br />
titles on the ITF tour during her career, presented<br />
the awards to the students and shared her journey<br />
in becoming a professional tennis player. The overall<br />
TNHA Sports Person of the Year 2017 was awarded to<br />
Year 11 student Owen Williams. This was not only for<br />
his ability in a range of sports but also his exceptional<br />
attitude towards learning.<br />
Students in the Iceni Class students at The Nicholas<br />
Hamond Academy have been busy assembling<br />
robots out of packing from Fairtrade products. They<br />
researched how our choices in the UK can make a<br />
difference around the world helping promote better<br />
prices and working conditions for farmers and workers.
