Royal Marines CCF Training Day Last week our Royal Marines CCF cadets spent the day training for observation post duties. The morning focused on learning the orders process, a key skill that’s highly transferable to the world of work. After cooking a ration pack lunch over stoves in the playground, the cadets headed to Trinity Fields in glorious sunshine. Working in teams of four, they set up camouflaged observation posts, monitored local traffic, took detailed notes, and reported significant events back to HQ using correct voice protocol. As always, the real focus was on developing communication, leadership, teamwork, and independence. It was wonderful to see the camaraderie between cadets across all year groups throughout the day! #CCF #CadetsInAction #Teamwork #Leadership #ErnestBevinAcademy

We welcomed our new Year 6 families to Ernest Bevin Academy on Wednesday evening. Families heard from our Principal, Mr Ade, about the values that make Ernest Bevin such a special place to learn, and from one of our brilliant Year 7 students who shared their experience of settling into life at the school. Visitors also met our amazing Year 7 ambassadors, who spoke proudly about their subjects and showed examples of their work, while our Year 10 and Year 11 students led tours of the school and our facilities. A big thank you to everyone who came along — it was great to see so many families beginning their journey with Ernest Bevin Academy. We look forward to welcoming many of you back soon. #ErnestBevinAcademy #SecondarySchoolJourney #SchoolCommunity

Throughout this week, we’ve been celebrating International Women’s Day, and recognising the remarkable women who help make Ernest Bevin Academy such a special place. Our students took time to write personal appreciation cards to female members of staff, thanking them for the guidance, support and inspiration they provide every single day. 💜 Their thoughtful comments provide a powerful reminder of the vital role these women play in shaping our school community and supporting our students to thrive. #InternationalWomensDay #InspiringWomen #SchoolCommunity #ErnestBevinAcademy #IWD2026 #GiveToGain

We’re looking forward to meeting our new families this Wednesday! Some of our current Year 7 students have been sharing their favourite subjects and what they enjoy most about life at our school. Our classrooms encourage your son to be himself, take risks, and learn with confidence — without the fear of failing in front of girls — creating a dynamic environment where boys feel free to participate and thrive. #Year7 #SchoolCommunity #FutureStudents #ernestbevinacademy
