We were delighted to welcome the Deputy Mayor of London, @joannemccartneyam, to Ernest Bevin Academy this week. Welcomed by our Headteacher and brilliantly represented by Year 7 students Freddy and Micaiah, the visit began with real warmth and pride. Our Sixth Form leaders then escorted the Deputy Mayor to Nelson Hall, where she spoke about her journey into politics and her work alongside @sadiq on the Free School Meals programme. Her passion for reducing inequalities and creating better opportunities for young people truly resonated with our students. A thoughtful and lively Q&A followed, with honest advice about leadership and public service. An inspiring visit and a memorable day for our academy community. We hope to welcome her back again soon. #ErnestBevinAcademy #StudentLeadership #Inspiration #PublicService #LondonSchools

Royal Marines CCF – Field Day 🟢⚓️ Last week, our Royal Marines CCF cadets travelled to @hellofreemens in Ashtead for a challenging and rewarding Field Day. The day began with terrain modelling and reconnaissance planning, followed by patrol formation training. After cooking lunch from ration packs, cadets worked in sections to conduct recce patrols to locate a well-camouflaged enemy observation post set up by Cadet Colour Sergeant Babula – without being detected. Experiences like this develop leadership, communication and teamwork, while building resilience and camaraderie along the way. We’re incredibly proud of the focus and determination shown by every cadet. @cadetsinschools #RoyalMarinesCCF #ErnestBevenAcademy #Leadership #Teamwork #CadetLife #OutdoorLearning
