Friendship afternoon
This March, we held a Friendship Afternoon for local primary school pupils who will be joining us in September 2017. Pupils and their families took part in fun-filled activities at the Academy, enjoying an exciting afternoon of Science, Art and PE challenges, and were provided an insight into what their educational experience will be like here at Crest.
The Friendship Afternoon forms part of our unique transition programme, providing future Crest students and their parents with the opportunity to meet key members of staff, future classmates and other families.
We are thrilled to welcome so many new families into our community and delighted to see so many pupils excited about joining us later in the year.
Our transition programme continues throughout the summer term, ensuring a personalised learning experience and enjoyable, seamless transition from primary to secondary education come September.

Medieval Week
As part of our continuous efforts to build strong relationships with our local primary schools, The Crest Academy rolled back the centuries to host‘ Medieval Week’.
A range of creatively themed workshops were designed to complement Year 6 pupils’ SATs preparation, in subjects across the curriculum. Pupils chose from practical Science lessons and medieval sports to performing folk tales and designing their own shield.
Mr Zabielski delivered an exciting English workshop, in which pupils wrote medieval ballads that the‘ peasants’ would recount and protest towards the‘ King’. It was great to watch the winning group perform on stage with Mr Cahill and see so many actively engaged pupils enjoy their experience at The Crest Academy.
