St Giles Spencer Academy continues to be an Outstanding school following its first Ofsted visit since joining the Spencer Academies Trust back in November 2019.
The glowing report praises the exceptional teaching and highly personalised and aspirational curriculum in which “pupils flourish socially and academically”.
Staff members, family and friends from Glenbrook Spencer Academy took on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on Saturday 8th June to help raise money to expand and develop the academy’s outdoor learning provision.
The group set out on the 24 mile (38.6km) hike up the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, and completed the climb in 11 hours and 40 minutes.
St Giles Spencer Academy, located in Chaddesden, have achieved Centre of Excellence status under the Balanced System® Scheme for Schools for the second time, following a visit earlier this month.
The Balanced System® is designed to help improve outcomes for children and young people across the range of speech, language and communication needs, by providing schools with the tools, mentor support and peer support to ensure they are effectively using resources to meet the needs of pupils.
The Spencer Superstars Charitable Foundation held its second spring charity ball last month, raising a collective total of just over £12,000!
The event took place at the Crowne Plaza Nottingham, with over 200 partners and staff members in attendance, and included auctions, a raffle, a live band, and performances from two of our very own Superstars - Sebastian Wang with his incredible piano solo and Sydney Charles welcoming guests on arrival with his fabulous bagpipe performance!
