Well done, and good luck for the final!

Our contribution

Students from Invenio Academy took part in the BBC’s World Class assembly: the world’s biggest assembly.  This assembly was attended by students across the world, and by students from Branson and Pleasence representing Invenio as part of their regular assembly programme.  Students watched a short video clip outlining some of the concerns of students from Brazil, Africa, Japan, Italy and elsewhere, before voting on the things that mattered most.

Ahead of the assembly, students had been voting on an online survey to identify some things which mattered to them about their school, local, national or international community.  These were used as the basis for the discussion in the assembly, in addition to topics suggested by students in the assembly.

As the picture shows, students voted overwhelmingly to say that friends and family were what mattered most to them.  It was a similar story on the online survey – but there is still time to have your say, by visiting: http://tinyurl.com/inveniobbc.

It would be great if staff and students could come along and show their support for the players and cheer them on to victory.

The final will be played on Thursday 26th April on the football pitches opposite St Lawrence’s Academy, kick off 4pm approx.

A huge congrats to all the lads that have participated in the school team this year, well done.

The Watoto Children's Choir performing at Invenio Academy

A wonderful evening was spent in the company of the Watoto Children’s Choir on the Saturday evening before the start of the Summer Term.  We were fortunate to have the Choir visit us some years ago, and none who experienced their singing or their stories will ever forget the occasion.  Their return visit to Invenio was even better, and even more moving.  A large audience from across the community very much enjoyed the concert.

If you want to find out more about Watoto, and the work that they do in rebuilding lives in Uganda, please visit www.watoto.com.

Discover Learning at Invenio Academy

Discover Learning – a whole school transformational approach to learning which has “flipped” the traditional model of secondary education by placing every student in the driving seat of their learning. This innovative practice has delivered success by dramatically increasing student engagement and improving student progress by breaking out of the straight-jacket of many traditional routines and practices e.g. timetables, fixed period lessons etc.

Find out how students operate within an office environment and utilise systems similar to university organisations to manage their learning using “Learning Journeys” and “Assessment for Learning Passports” as well as many other new exciting methods.
