LINKS WITH HOCKLEY DAY CENTRE

Students from all year groups have forged links with visitors to the Hockley Day Centre in an attempt to improve the opinions that both generations may have of each other.  Activities so far have included helping to serve Christmas lunch, pairing up and conducting interviews to find out what life was like in years gone by and most recently, having tea together.   Other planned events include inviting the older people into school for a coffee and beauty treatment, a day out for both groups and a dance.

Renaming of Academy Sports Hall

We are delighted to announce that the Sports Hall at Greensward has been renamed as "The Richard Vingoe Sports and Community Centre" this week.  Mr Vingoe worked tirelessly throughout his adult life to support the community and in particular the young people of Hockley.  Mr Vingoe was also a governor of Plumberow Primary School and of Greensward College before he sadly passed away in June 2008.

Mrs Vingoe and her family and members of the local community were invited to unveil a commemorative plaque, cut the ribbon and enjoy student displays of gymnastics, kick boxing, dancing and singing.
