They raised an impressive £131.28, which has been donated to The Holistic Cancer Centre in Claughton. It was fantastic to see their hard work and enthusiasm pay off , we’re incredibly proud of the effort they put in and the support they received from the local community.

A group of our students, along with Libby from Christ Church Higher Bebington, handed over the cheque to Patsy from the centre, who was absolutely delighted and very grateful for the donation.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated cakes, bought a treat, or helped in any way - your support really made a difference.

The moonlight brushed my shadow thin

As the stars kept secrets deep within.

No sword was drawn, no war was won,

Yet still, I rose before the sun.

On quiet paths the wise they tread,

“I found the truth,” the silence said. 

A whispered name, a breath, a flame

And all was returned to the same.

1. Now Dusk and Dawn both know my face,

I’ve danced with time in sacred space,

Not claimed by a throne, nor bound by a prize,

But crowned beneath unseen skies. 

Below are some extracts from recent extensive research by the Department of Education.

 

1) A child loses £750 in future earnings every time they miss 1 day of school

2) Attendance falling from 100% to 95% equates to a loss of £7500 in future earnings

3) Only 60% of students with attendance below 90% will obtain Full Time jobs in Adulthood

4) On average 13 days of absence throughout Years 7-11 results in a 1 grade reduction across GCSE subjects

5) Families taking children on holiday in term time may save money - HOWEVER they may actually cost the child £750 per day in future earnings

 

Some startling information to consider and reinforces our desire here at Co-op Academy Bebington that, with your continued support, every child attends whenever possible and gains the maximum benefit from this period in their life.

We're thrilled to see so many students getting involved.

The timing couldn't be better, as we've just welcomed two new furry residents to the school farm. After a fun-filled competition, our new guinea pigs have been officially named Minnie and Amber!

A huge well done to the Farm Club students who also organised a fundraiser, raising a brilliant £40. This money will go directly towards caring for our new arrivals and supporting the farm. Well done, everyone! Thank you Teehey Lane Co-op for providing the chocolate prizes! 

It’s been a busy and exciting term for the PE department, filled with fun clubs and activities that have set a positive tone for the year ahead.

Special shoutout to the Netball Club - it’s been a big success and will continue into next half term on Thursdays after school!

Looking forward, next half term promises even more action, with new before and after-school clubs, the launch of our interform competitions, and plenty of upcoming fixtures in netball, football, and badminton. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Don’t forget! Please remember to collect your PE Loyalty Reward Card from the PE office to be in with a chance of winning exciting prizes and rewards through PE. Keep your eyes peeled to find out what next half term’s prize will be!

The year 8 & 9 Netball teams have been working hard this half term and have displayed dedication to training sessions. They have played two matches each this half term, with a double victory over SJP! Players consistently display excellent sportsmanship and their love for Netball.

Players of the match this half term go to: I.Finley & A.Chapman

They explored the key elements of an effective CV and began creating their own drafts. Students also practiced essential interview skills and developed a clearer understanding of what employers value in potential candidates. To round off the morning, they took part in a financial literacy session, learning about budgeting, saving, and how to interpret payslips and taxes.

Students also learned about vocational and technical pathways in a session with Cheshire College South and West. Thank you to all of our guests who provided such a valuable and informative morning. 

Work experience helps young people develop skills and confidence and is a very important part of our careers programme

We can't do this without support from home so please think about how you can help your son/daughter find a placement. 

Some ideas:

Can they come to work with you for 3 days?

Do you have family members or friends who can host them?

Contact local businesses and ask if they can host your child.

Employers need to have employer liability insurance to host a young person which most already have (unless they are a sole trader) and we manage the admin here in school once the initial contact has been made. Mrs Heald in the Career Office can advise if you have any questions or need any help supporting your child.

Students need to have a work experience placement confirmed by Friday 27th March 2026.

Support our careers programme:

Would you be willing to give an hour to talk to our students about your company or your own career pathway?

Could you help with doing some mock interviews with our students?

Many of our students are interested in careers in construction, so we would be really happy to hear from you if you are in this field and would like to take part in the mock interviews with year 11 in January. 

Please email amy.heald@coopacademies.co.uk if you would like to help.
