A great first full week of the new academic year and even better to end on a lovely surprise from my new team 😊
Good luck to all young people receiving exam results today 🤞To my classes this year: I am so proud of your effort and dedication this year and whatever letter is on that piece of paper does not change that 💜
I have had amazing classes this year & it’s been lovely to see the progress in the young people. A special thank you to them for making this year even more difficult to move on but I know they are in great hands & have the world at their feet #LearningTogetherAchievingTogether 💜

S3 created their own zodiac calendars based on their own interests. There was a wide variety of different themes including musical theatre characters, sports, food and Christmas. Everyone worked hard and it was great to see so much creativity #LearningTogertherAchievingTogether

Blown away by the passion on display at yesterday’s #YPI showcase @ArmadaleAcademy - 9 teams battled it out to win for their charity. Huge well done to everyone involved and congratulations to the winning team, representing Neil’s Hugs. 👏
