This week is Anti Bullying week and pupils will be completing a number of activities during their PD sessions in the afternoons. This will also be coupled with house assemblies that will have an Anti Bullying theme. Pupils work from the week will be displayed around the school and on tutor boards for all to see.
Here is another chance to see the anti bullying message from the school assemblies earlier in the year
Sir Thomas Boughey Academy
Last week anti bullying assemblies were delivered to all pupils. This informed them of the effects of bullying and launched the new STB procedure for reporting and recording bullying.

Thank you so much to Phoebe of Medpath who came in to discuss careers in medicine with a group of our year 8 students today. It was a very interesting session and pupils learned about how medical students learn about the human body. Phoebe also discussed the entry requirements, the length of courses and the specialist areas doctors and nurses can train in, and pupils got the chance to ask lots of questions at the end.

The scheme is supported by the School of Medicine and the University to benefit WP students from a range of different schools.All pupils who are attending Year 8 and 9 Boys Football training on Thursday afterschool, will need to bring their football boots and outdoor trainers just in case the field is unsuitable to use. Thank you

The stakes are high, as always, in the Accelerated Reader Quiz Points battle. After a strong start this half term we can see a firm leader on the board, WATER are saturating the playing field that EARTH seem to be stuck in, and are the flames of FIRE being smothered by AIR? Only time will tell, but no team can sit back and relax just yet. Don't forget, to earn your points you need to quiz.
Take advantage of your home access and get quizzing so the points start whizzing up the chart. Happy reading!
Calling all ex-STB pupils - we are looking to form a Sir Thomas Boughey Alumni of ex students willing to mentor existing pupils and share with them your experiences of life in the adult world. Whether you left in 1950 or 2018, if you once walked our corridors please get in touch, it would be great to have you as part of our Alumni!
UPDATE: Thank you for the overwhelmingly positive replies about becoming part of the Sir Thomas Boughey Alumni. We will get back to anyone that has expressed an interest as soon as we can, but if you can send us a private email message if you are interested that would be really helpful. Thank you
We continue to celebrate Harvest Festival in our school and today was our harvest assembly. Harvest is a time to reflect and also where we think of others not as fortunate as ourselves, in addition to celebrating the food we eat, the variety of food we can choose to eat and also who we choose to eat our food with. We are the fortunate ones – around the world there are many who do not have enough to eat and also many have no choice what they eat. We would like to thank everybody for donating food to make our harvest a special one once again. The food parcels will be distributed in the local community.
As the season is changing, so to are the Bookmarks. This year we have produced them in the House colours to make them more bespoke and I'm sure you would agree, they look very impressive! The usual information is supplied, and, as with last year, all pupils will receive a grand total of three bookmarks throughout the year to show their progress in their STAR tests.
Happy Reading!

Massive thanks to Gareth Hughes from Newcastle College for giving an assembly today and answering pupils questions afterwards. A great insight into college applications and course requirements. As Gareth says, time to put the games consoles away and focus!
