The most powerful examples of collaboration have been joint trips and drama. At
Easter, Academy students joined us for an a
level Geography Field Trip and for a Creative
Writing trip to Wales.
To see students
working alongside each other and learning
together is to see partnership at its best.
The highlight of the year was undoubtedly
the joint performance of the musical Oliver!
Played to packed audiences for two nights at
the Academy and two nights at the College,
60 students combined to produce a stunning
show which earned a string of standing ovations. The quality of their work was outstanding but this joint project was so much
more than that. The bringing together of
students from different backgrounds with
different talents and skills was a daring move
but one which was wholeheartedly successful. Each actor learnt about the other school,
its context and its student body and these
are lessons that will stay with them. The camaraderie and fun lives on as they are busy
exchanging views on Facebook !
We look forward to more joint ventures on
all levels in the future and are proud to be in
partnership with The Wellington Academy.
