Word on the Street The Newsletter of Bethnal Green Academy and Sixth Form
Welcome to the Autumn term It’s been a great start to the Autumn term here at Bethnal Green Academy and we hope our Year 7s are settling into life and learning here at the Academy. Over the summer we were very proud of our Year 11 and 12 students who achieved a great set of exam results. 76% of students achieved five or more A* - C grades including English and Maths. 89% of students achieved five or more A*-Cs and it’s good to see many of them back with us in the Sixth Form. Our attendance was the highest in the borough for the second year running with a very impressive 96.6%. Keep it up BGA!
A farm favourite Bethnal Green Academy is a part of the London Farm Academy, a Soil Association project. The project is all about getting young people to visit Organic Farms and learn all about where their food comes from. On Thursday 19th September BGA students from Years 7–10 visited a dairy farm called Bore Farm in Kent. Students learnt how to
make homemade chutneys and explored the dairy farm where they saw calves from as young as a week old, cows that were ‘going for beef’ and cows that were just for milking. The farm staff commented that our students were great ambassadors for the Academy. Well done - and thank you to Ms Taylor, Mr Palmer and Mr Messam for arranging the farm visit.
A Dahlicious Day at BGA Last Friday, September 13th, was Roald Dahl Day and all at BGA had a fantabulous day. Ms Piccoli read The Witches to an enthralled Jackanory audience in the LRC at lunchtime. During Tutor Time and throughout the day students were quizzed on their knowledge of Roald Dahl and the winners received prizes.
