Dear Parent/Carer

If you shop at Morrisons, or know family and friends who do, please could we ask that you register Rushden Academy for gardening points.

For every £10 you spend (in store or online) you will get a Grow Token that the school can redeem for a wide range of gardening and growing equipment. 

You can either download the Morrison's app or log into your Morrisons online account to start collecting Grow Tokens. Simply scan your digital My Morrisons or physical card in store, or link your My Morrisons card to your online account to get Grow Tokens every time you shop. The collection period finishes on Sunday 24th October.

We have been developing our grounds with students and have a the eco committee growing our own vegetables and a sensory garden by the inclusion rooms being developed. 

We would really appreciate your help to give us the opportunity to buy more tools etc. to help us to continue our eco committee work.

With many thanks

The Eco Committee

Two years ago we recruited our first cohort of Language Leaders but unfortunately due to Covid, they were unable to work on all the plans we had in place for them. As we now return to a bit more normality, we are excited to introduce our new team.

The students are all currently in our year 10 MFL  groups and they were asked to write to us saying why they wanted the role and what they thought they could do to help the faculty grow. The first job for a few of them was this week at our Year 6 Open Evening, where they greeted prospective students and their families and talked to them about their experiences of language learning at Rushden. We look forward to them working with some of our KS3 students, producing future articles for the newsletter and supporting us with our social media accounts.
