Students enjoyed an amazing celebration of culture at Kimberley 16-19 STEM College last week - thank you to all who brought in food, took part in the fashion walk and performed songs & dances! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

A huge thanks to www.bedsfire.gov.uk, specifically Kempston Community Fire Station Blue Watch Team & The Bedford Community Policing Team for providing such a fantastic 'Young Driver Awareness' experience at Kimberley College today. Student's were informed about the dangers of excessive speed, use of mobile phones, distraction while driving, use of drink and/or drugs and the importance of wearing a seat belt as well as experiencing the virtual reality driving simulator, and trying on some of the uniform 🚒🧯👍🏼

What a fantastic day we’ve had, working with 3 Heads Agency on our Kimberley 16-19 STEM College promotional video - stay tuned for more! 🎬🎥🍿

‼️Exciting New 4G Sports Facility at Wootton Upper School‼️ We are thrilled to announce that Wootton Upper School will be opening a state-of-the-art 4G sports facility starting in September 2024. This fantastic addition is designed not only to enhance the sports experience for our pupils but also to serve as a valuable resource for the entire Wootton village community. The facility will be available for community (priority) and commercial use outside of school hours, providing a premier venue for sports and recreational activities. You can register your interest via email - lettings@wootton.beds.sch.uk This initiative emphasises our commitment to fostering a vibrant, active, and healthy lifestyle for everyone in our village. We extend our gratitude to the Wootton Parish Council for their generous financial contribution, without which this project would not have been possible. Their support is a testament to the strength and unity of our community, reflecting a shared vision for the well-being and development of all village residents. The 4G sports facility promises numerous benefits - for Wootton Academy Trust students, it means access to top-tier sports training grounds, promoting physical education and team sports. For the wider community, it offers a versatile space for various sports and events, encouraging engagement and social interaction. We look forward to seeing you at the new facility and witnessing the positive impact it will undoubtedly have on Wootton Upper School and our village as a whole. Together, let's make the most of this fantastic opportunity to stay active, connected, and vibrant. Thank you, Wootton Parish Council, and thank you to our community for your ongoing support and enthusiasm. Here’s to our first WAT Staff vs Wootton Community football game!

Our Executive Headteacher Mark Lehain appeared on ITV today, discussing how the attendance at Wootton Upper School improved to above national average in just a year and why it is imprortant that pupils are in School everyday during term-time!

Our dining room has been transformed, thanks to our amazing in-house Premises Development Team, led by James Mace - thank you Greg & Greg - you’ve done an incredible job! 🤩 Carrie McMorn (Burnell) Mark Lehain Marcin Mieczkowski
