• Pupil Voice - Our Heritage Curriculum

  Thu 27 Mar 2025 Nia Evans

  I had a brilliant time with these children during our pupil voice session today. They were so  enthusiastic speaking about our heritage curriculum. Each child spoke confidently about what they’ve been learning locally and how it connects to the wider unit they are studying. We are proud of our heritage curriculum at Criftins and it’s wonderful to see the impact on our children.

• Year 6 Lakelands Transition Morning

  Tue 25 Mar 2025 S Palmer

  Nine of our Year 6 children who are due to move up to Lakelands in September enjoyed a multi sports morning organised by Year 10 Lakelands’ pupils and our SGO Louis Gray.  
  Lakelands Academy has been participating in a Youth Voice project with the Youth Sports Trust, as a result of the project the group of Year 10 students who took part decided to organise a multi sports festival for Year 6 students who will be joining the school in September.  Three of the leaders today were pupils from Criftins so not only was it great to see them but also familiar faces that our Year 6 will recognise when they start in Year 7.

  

• Holy Week

  Mon 24 Mar 2025 C Suckley

  This morning Class 2 welcomed Reverend Gareth into class to tell us all about Holy Week. He showed us his communion set that he takes on home visits, Icons representing The Last Supper and The Crucifixion as well as a miniature donkey to represent the one that Jesus rode on Palm Sunday. We were able to ask questions and share our knowledge of Easter with him.
