Appleton Academy Cadets - berets waiting for presentation at their up-coming Drill and Ceremonial assessment. Drill is important for cadets to move a large number of people quickly and efficiently. It teaches team-work, precision and discipline. We wish them all good luck for the assessment.

Year 8&9 Climbing Club students took the opportunity to visit the Big Depot in Leeds. The students took full advantage of the different types of climbing on offer including bouldering, top ropes and auto-belays. The students utilised and progressed their climbing skills. A great effort all around!'

We wrote to parents about the SMART mobile phone use pilot & the BBC visited us to speak with students about their experiences. Students spoke honestly & with maturity & we are very proud of their engagement with the project. The BBC have written about what they heard: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our Yr7 and 8s finished third tonight at the Bulls rugby event. This means that combined with last week's third place we secured our Bronze medal position. Unfortunately, we miss out by one place on representing the Bradford Bulls but to be the third best rugby school in Bradford means so much.

We completed the badminton triple with a key stage 4 boys Bradford final win against Beckfoot 9-0. Unfortunately our key stage 3 boys lost 2-7 against Carlton Bolling meaning we just missed out on the quadruple. Overall though we won the Bradford leagues for yr7, ks3 girls and ks4 boys. Awesome.
