Croydon Schools Competition<br />
On Wednesday 4th May, our Year 9 athletes celebrated a victorious afternoon at the Croydon Schools Athletics Competition.<br />
All of our athletes gave great performances, with winners and finalists in almost every event. There were over 16 other<br />
Croydon schools in attendance and our student’s behaviour was impeccable.<br />
Congratulations to all of the competitors, with a special mention for Ben Glover who finished 1st in the Shot Put (Ben has<br />
been a medallist 3 years in a row), to Brooke Ramsay who finished 2nd in Hurdles (and champion for the previous 2 years), to<br />
Matthew Amoah-Larbi who came 3rd in Triple Jump and to Shannell Malcolm who finished 3rd in High Jump. We also had<br />
a number of finalists in other events including Morgan Edwards in the 100m, Di-zir Smith in the 200m, Devonte Smith in the<br />
300m, Michael Valencia who finished in the top 5 for High Jump and Amelia Guthrie Kirby who finished in the top 5 for Javelin.<br />

Road Safety Assembly<br />
On Wednesday 13th April, the Academy hosted the Tiny<br />
Giants Theatre Group and the Croydon Road Safety Team,<br />
who performed a stimulating and informative Road Safety<br />
performance for Year 9 students.<br />
The performance illustrated the importance of staying safe<br />
around traffic, not just when students are alone, but as part of<br />
larger groups. The story was based on true events, which made<br />
the dramatic scenes even more poignant. The students were<br />
engaged throughout the performance and appreciated the<br />
balance of drama and comedy.<br />
