Learning Detectives

At Iron Acton, we try to consistently challenge ourselves and be purple learners. To learn more about the learning happening across the school, 10 children have been working with Mrs Pardoe to set up our Learning Detective team. These pupils will get the opportunity to observe around the school, and feedback to staff about what is working well, and how we can improve our learning skills. We look forward to seeing what the Learning Detectives find in their investigations!

School grounds a haven for wildlife!

Three of our pupils were keen to show off the frog they found in the school grounds after school yesterday. Last week we found two baby stoats. Great to see wildlife flourishing here at Iron Acton and our pupils taking such a keen interest.

Victory for Iron Acton in regional tennis finals

Four children from years 3 and 4 competed in a regional tennis competition after their successful qualification tournament. A few weeks ago they competed against other schools from South Gloucestershire, and after winning all their matches, they progressed to the regional finals held at the University of Bristol. There were 10 teams in the finals, from South Gloucestershire, North Sommerset, Bristol and BANES, and Team Iron Acton fought off all the competition to win the gold medal! The standard was very high which makes this achievement all the more impressive. Congratulations to Ruben, Rosie, William and Lucy. Well done!
