taking an active role locally as well as having
the opportunity to visit and experience other
parts of the world without losing the focus
on academic excellence in the Academy.
How important is Christian
ethos to the Academy?
The Academy has a strong Christian ethos
throughout that underpins the work across
both the taught and non-taught curriculum.
The daily life of the Academy presents
opportunities for students to learn about
Christian beliefs and engage in acts of
worship, under the leadership of senior
staff and our full-time Chaplain. There is a
chapel for prayer, small services and personal
reflection within the Academy building. The
Academy has close relationships with local
church leaders; students visit churches nearby

EXCITING TIMES AND
FOND FAREWELLS
This September, the current Year 6 pupils at
St Mary Abbots School will move off to start a
new phase in their lives at secondary school.
We asked some of the pupils to tell us about
how they feel about this new beginning
Jayden Moore
Leaving primary school is going to be hard,
but it’s all part of life. I will miss a lot of
people, and it will be sad to leave St Mary
Abbots School, but at the same time I am
really looking forward to secondary.
The last day of school will definitely be a day
to remember, thinking back to all the times
we had together and all the funny things that
happened over the past seven years. As well
as feeling excited about secondary school I’m
not exactly confident, it will be a bit weird
having to find all the classrooms since it’s
such a big school which makes it very easy to
get lost.
Lucky for me my school is new so we’ll be the
first year group - I guess you could say we’re
at the top and bottom of the school!
Life is definitely not going to be the same
after the big transition, but it’s time for me to
Jayden with the Bishop of Kensington
move on with my life. I guarantee this will not
be the last big step in my life and it will be the
same for some of you.
