Join our #alphascittprogram 👇🌟 Celebrating Our Alpha Family: Meet Kaine! 🌟
"The SCITT so far for me has been fantastic. I have been firmly embraced by my academy; from the outside, I would not appear any different than the regular teaching staff. This has enabled me to thrive with plentiful support and the opportunity to pick up skills from a massive range of expert teaching styles.
I’ve never been a person who enjoyed sitting and being talked at for hours, but the SCITT keeps me engaged through practical sessions that allow the majority of my time to be spent in the classrooms where I can truly thrive. If you're considering a route into teaching, I cannot recommend Alpha Academies Trust's SCITT enough. 10/10!"
Teach First
We are so proud to have passionate educators like Kaine shaping the future of our students. To support our trainees, we offer exclusive benefits including a FREE LAPTOP to use during your training and an ALPHA WELLBEING DAY—a dedicated day off during term time to recharge. 💙📚👨🏫

🔴 It’s Red Nose Day! 🔴
Today is all about the power of laughter to make a "serious difference." Whether you’re tuning in to the BBC One telethon at 7pm or simply sharing a joke with a friend, there are plenty of ways to support the cause independently:
Watch & Learn: Catch the live show to see how donations provide food, shelter, and safety to those in need.
Share a Smile: In the spirit of this year`s theme, "Take Yourself Funny for Money," share your best (or worst!) joke in the comments below.
Let`s keep the kindness going! 🎒❤️

🌟 What an egg‑citing day we’ve had in the nursery! 🌟
Yesterday, we had 5 eggs delivered, and we could hardly wait to find out what was growing inside.
This morning, we were thrilled to welcome 3 baby ducklings into the world — and the children even got to watch duckling number 3 hatch right before their eyes! 🐣✨
At lunchtime, we gently settled the ducklings into their new home in the nursery. We can’t wait to watch them grow and, most importantly… teach them how to swim! 💦🦆
The ducklings will be with us until the Easter holidays, and we’ll be learning all about the lifecycle of ducks as they grow.

🐰 Some-bunnies had a great time this morning! 🐣
A huge thank you to all the wonderful parents and children who hopped along for our Easter Bunny Walk!
A smaller number started, but the hopping crew walking party grew and grew! It was absolutely egg-straordinary to see that by the time you entered the school gates, there were over 100 of in the parade! Talk about some serious "hare" power! 🏃♂️💨
Definitely worth every hop, skip, and jump.
📸Please share your "Snaps"!
We know there were plenty of paparazzi parents on the trail! If you captured any "egg-cellent" photos of the fun, we would love to see them.
Please send your photos over to myself! Mrs Staner via dojo I`d love to share the best moments on our DOJO / Facebook page and show everyone what a "cracking" time was had.
🥕 A little Easter humour for your morning:
Why did the Easter egg hide? Because he was a little chicken! 🐥
How does the Easter Bunny stay fit? Egg-ersize and lots of hare-robics! 🐰💪
What do you call a very tired Easter Bunny? Eggs-hausted!
Thank you for making our debut walk so special. You guys are "eggs-actly" the reason we love our school community! ✨ You guys are literally the best eggs in the basket! 🧺✨
