A fantastic welcome for prospective students! 💛🖤

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Year 8 Open Evenings this September! It was such a pleasure to open our doors and welcome so many families to explore everything that Samuel Whitbread Academy has to offer.

The atmosphere throughout the evening was incredible. Our Principal presentations had a record number of attendees, where prospective students had the opportunity to hear from our Head students, current Year 9s and Mr Martin himself. Visitors gained insights into our Academy's core values, ambitions and education. 

Throughout the evening, students and families toured our departments and facilities - which were buzzing with activity. Prospective students were offered an immersive experience into the subjects they would be learning across the school. From market mapping to titration experiments, to gymnastic performances in the activities hall. It was wonderful to see so many young people getting a true taste of life at Samuel Whitbread Academy.

An event like this depends on the enthusiasm and hard work of our whole community. A huge thank you goes to our dedicated staff team and our brilliant student volunteers, whose warm welcome and pride in our school made the evenings a fantastic success.

We are incredibly excited about the journey ahead and look forward to welcoming the next generation to the Samuel Whitbread Academy family!
