🔹THANK YOU TO C SOFTWARE 🔹 We would like to thank Tewkesbury-based company C Software Limited who have once again sponsored some amazing ICT programming equipment to support our learners here at Tewkesbury Academy. Last week, we were excited to receive 60 brand new Raspberry Pi Picos. These are designed for physical computing projects where the device can control familiar components such as LEDs, buttons, sensors, motors. Lead teacher for Computing, Mr Lakin, commented: "these powerful microcontrollers will give our students hands-on experience in coding, electronics, and problem-solving; helping them develop essential programming skills for the future." "This is the next logical step up from the BBC Micro:bits that were also graciously sponsored by C Software before Christmas. We are grateful for their sponsorship which is allowing our students to experience physical computing whilst also enriching their programming skills." This contribution is not just about technology; it's about support from our community and empowering our students with the skills they need to thrive in the digital age. If you're a local company and may be able to support us in any way, we would be very pleased to hear from you.

Our students have demonstrated their generosity and community spirit once again by spending Thursday 10 October in non-uniform to raise funds for Tewkesbury CofE Primary. The recent heavy rain caused severe flooding and damaged the library of their school damaging books, furniture, and carpets. A big THANK YOU to you all for the donations, and we are pleased to share that £876 has been raised. A great total 👏🏻well done! Kathleen McGillycuddy, Principal said, “We are really proud of our young people and their families who have raised these funds for Tewkesbury C of E Primary School. We were deeply upset that their library was destroyed in the recent floods – reading and literacy are so important to all of us – so it was only natural that everyone wanted to help. I’m pleased to see our values of responsibility exemplified here, and we hope all the youngsters at the primary school will soon enjoy lovely new books as a result.” #ThisisTewkesbury #charitableTewkesbury #Fundraising #Community Cabot Learning Federation

Kathleen McGillycuddy, Principal said: “We are proud to wear yellow to celebrate World Mental Health Day – the wellbeing of our young people and colleagues is really important to us. “It is a symbol to our school community that it is okay to not be okay, and as a Young Minds Matter school, we are thankful to all our partner organisations for their help in keeping our children and young people well.” #HelloYellow #MentalHealthAwarenessDay #ThisIsTewkesbury Cabot Learning Federation

This year we are delighted to announce that on Thursday (10 October) we will be holding our first non-uniform day of the academic year to coincide with the Fair. The proceeds of this will be donated to our local primary, Tewkesbury C of E School, to support them recover after the recent flooding which saw their Library books and equipment water damaged. Mr Rylatt, the Headteacher at Tewkesbury C of E Primary has been in touch to thank us for this gesture and passes on his heartfelt thanks to everyone. Our collective support will make a huge difference. 💙 Parents/carers can now make a donation via ParentPay - please select 'choose payment amount' from the dropdown. A donation of at least £1 can also be handed to your child's tutor on Thursday. Thank you. #nonuniform #charitabletewkesbury #Community #supporteachother #ThisisTewkesbury Cabot Learning Federation
