We attended the Haringey Borough Athletics at Lee Valley indoor stadium and took a small but talented group of pupils to the event which was attended by all the other secondary schools in the borough.There were two notable performances from the group from both Jefferson Birabil (Y8) and Aaron White (Y10) in the 200m who stormed to victory. There is video footage that we will send out in the next week of Aaron’s win.Below is a list of the squad and their positions in each event.Year 8Roshan 3rd 60mClaude 3rd Shot Put, 2nd HurdlesJefferson 1st 200m, 3rd Long JumpYear 9Isaiah Shot Put 2nd, 60m 3rdRio Long Jump 2ndBellgrace 200mAlicia 60mYear 10Aaron 200m 1st, Long Jump 3rdLaura 60m 3rd, Long Jump 3rdGodfred Hurdles 2ndWell done to all those who were involved.

West End production of ‘Caroline, or Change’
On Thursday 24th January a group of year 9 students from Duke’s Aldridge Academy were lucky enough to see the West End production of ‘Caroline, or Change’ at the Playhouse Theatre. The musical tells the story of Caroline, a maid working for a family in Carolina in the early 1960s. Issues of segregation, race and politics of the time are played out through song and movement in the amazing production. The students were lucky enough to be treated to a post show discussion and met some of the cast following the performance. It was an amazing experience and the students loved every minute of the incredible show.
Christmas Hamper Deliveries
Following the successful creation of Christmas Hampers by the student council led by Ms Thompson the Heads of House at Duke’s Aldridge Academy set about arranging delivery to community groups in the local area. The five Heads of House delivered beautiful Christmas hampers to care homes during the final week of term. Ably supported by representatives from the five Houses (Adkins, Byrne, King, Tull and Wallis) the Heads of House were able to spread warmth, Christmas spirit and the joy of giving to those in need during the festive season.
Well done all!
Renaissance Awards 2018
Duke’s Aldridge Academy were in the top three performing schools in England for their implementation of Accelerated Reader. The nomination recognizes student progress made and the successful administration of the reading program. For the past 3 years we have been the first secondary school in the country to be awarded Master School status and over 60% of our classes were awarded Masterclass: both awards requiring high levels of comprehension and reading stamina.
