Acle Academy

RSC Ambassador Training On Thursday 14th November, a small group of students from Acle Academy went to Stage Two of the Theatre Royal. These students are our Shakespeare Ambassadors. They spent the day working with a director/actor from the Royal Shakespeare Company with a view to raising the profile of Shakespeare within our school. There were students from four other schools in attendance and it was a brilliant day of fun and planning. #acleacademy #thersc #norwichtheatre

On 7th November, Year 10 and 11 English students enjoyed a trip to the Norfolk English Symposium. Students participated in an undergraduate style seminar led by Giles Foden, author of 'The Last King of Scotland' and literary editor for the Guardian, and Jeremy Noel-Tod, Literary Editor and Associate Professor at the UEA. The seminar helped prepare students in their approach to unseen poetry and prose. We were very proud of the way our students conducted themselves and participated in the seminar. #acleacademy
