Duke’s Debate Team Wins MDX Competition

29th June 2019Mr J Rennalls

Duke’s Debate team rebutalled with great passion and articulation against other schools in yesterday’s MDX finals competition and they WON!!
The judges and organisers were once again so impressed with each of their performances and understanding of debating. However, instead of going up to receive their prizes and trophy they wanted to receive their feedback first on how to improve for the next battle which starts in the new academic year. This demonstrates their real passion for  debating and their drive to succeed.

Year 10 Maths Feast

By Mr J Rennalls22nd June 2019

The Advanced Mathematics support programme’s annual ‘Year 10 Maths Feast’ took place  earlier this year at The London Academy of Excellence in Tottenham.

This is a national competition which combines mathematical, communication and teamwork skills and offers students another way to express and develop their enjoyment of mathematics.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to think creatively with some of the challenging problems” Godfred

The following students made the academy proud as they represented us in this year’s competition. They came second in 2/4 rounds and scored consistently high in all rounds. 14 schools were there.

The two teams of students were;
Richelle 10T
Direnc 10T
Berat 10T
Godfred 10T
Sulaiman 10H
Giovanni 10K
Shugri 10R
Ahmed 10R
They all worked hard as a team to solve problems from four different rounds – a merry- go -round, maths comprehension, higher or lower and a maths relay.

“Although we didn’t win, I can leave with my head held high knowing that there’s so much more to maths that I can learn, there’s no excuse not to” – Giovanni

Duke’s Awarded Silver RRS Award

17th June 2019Mr J Rennalls

Duke’s Aldridge Academy is now a Silver Rights Respecting School after implementing the United Nations Rights of the Child across the whole academy over the last academic year. Our young people have been experiencing their UNCRC 42 articles in lessons, extra curricular activities, drop down days and many other various whole school events. This has been championed by 5 students know as the Rights4u steering group who have worked tirelessly in promoting their rights.
Our goal now is to achieve the Rights Respecting School Gold award in which Duke’s Aldridge Academy will become ambassadors for our young people across Haringey.
