Due to a water pump failure & lack of running water the Academy has made the difficult decision to close today - Mon 12.12.22. We will provide an update later this morning, including about the availability of online learning for today. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Wishing all our EAL students a well deserved happy sunny holidays. You've all worked so hard! Whether you've just joined @AppletonAcademy or have been with us for quite a while.
We hope you'll be able to come and have some fun! @AriseMentoring & Bradford Foundation prepared a fab day full of activities for everybody. #RefugeeWeek2022

Here is a picture drawn by one of our students who is new to English. Today she drew a mythical creature to assist her understanding of the topic. A huge thank you to our wonderful staff who go the extra mile to help our students to be successful!
Here is a wonderful piece of homework by Ali in Y8. He is new to English and has been working hard to tell stories from his country. We are really proud of his efforts, well done! #EAL @AppletonAcademy
