Congratulations to our 36 double word millionaires and multi-millionaires in Year 7 and 8! We celebrated their impressive achievements in the library today, and enjoyed book-linked games and lots of cake. Well done to all and keep reading!

As Student Volunteering Week continues, we celebrate our students who volunteer at Sweatbox, our Youth Centre provision for young people across the local community. Sweatbox young volunteers are known as the Sweatbox Union (14 to 18 year olds) and Squidgers (11 to 13 year olds) and help with the running of their youth clubs, and influence decision making within Sweatbox, giving youth voice to all they do.

To mark Student Volunteering Week, we are celebrating King Alfred's students who support the local community both inside and outside of school. Our Library Leaders on West Site volunteer during their lunch and break times to help support the running of the library - writing out student invitations to our Chinese New Year celebration, requesting quizzes for books that do not have AR and updating the word count in our Accelerated Reader classroom. Thank you Arthur, Eleana, Lila, Emogen, Aleksandra and Marlena for all your help!

Don't miss out on the next King Alfred's Academy Enrichment Programme (KAAEP) talk on Monday 9th March, 5pm - 6.30pm. Dr Maxime Lepoutre from the University of Reading discusses "Free Speech and Hate Speech - can we ban one and still have the other?" Tickets are free for students and staff - please email: pstokell@kas.cambrianlt.org or use the QR code below to book your space!

Sweatbox at Centre Site is open this Friday (6th February) to Years 7 to 10 only. Entry is £3 and gates open at 7pm. Come and join us for activities including Sumo and Karaoke!
