YEAR 6 PARENT CONSULTATIONS
Thank you to all the parents/carers that were able to attend consultations this week. We are really impressed by how hard Year 6 are working.
NETBALL TEA
In recognition of how hard they tried this year, and for representing the school in matches, the whole squad were treated to an afternoon tea.
CANVEY CROSS COUNTRY
After training really hard for the last few weeks, it was time for the Canvey Cross Country at Castle View. A team of over 50 runners were selected to represent Northwick Park. They all ran really well.
As a team, Northwick Park finished in first place in the team competition. Every child that ran helped us achieve this. Well done to all the team.

YOUNG CARERS NOISY TEA
Happy Easter from all of our Young Carers at Northwick Park! This week we have enjoyed a very sunny afternoon and very 'Noisy Tea' where we all enjoyed some Easter craft and delicious snacks - finishing it off with an exciting egg hunt! Children searched the grounds for twelve eggs to solve the riddle and received a yummy prize for all of their hard work! As always, we enjoy our special time together to catch up and share news with one another.
At Northwick Park Academy, we are committed to ensuring that all students who are young carers are identified and supported effectively. If you think your child might be a young carer please contact our Young Carers Operational Lead, Mrs L Cooper by email at LCooper@northwickpark.essex.sch.uk. Any information given to her will be treated sensitively and no information will be shared without your knowledge.
EASTER EGG RAFFLE
What fun we had today at the annual Easter Egg raffle. Every child who donated an egg was entered and chose an egg with the first few winners lucky enough to win a very large egg donated by the school.
RECEPTION FOREST SCHOOL
Today Reception had their first Forest School session. They had a fabulous session in the sunshine and enjoyed participating in a range of activities including bug hunting, building dens, and toasting marshmallows.
MICAH BUDD
Having finished second in the Year 5 boys race at Castle Point and Rochford, competition at Garons Park, Micah B was selected to represent the area at the Essex Championship this week. He ran really well finishing a magnificent 28th.
YEAR 2 FOOTBALL AT DEANS
Mr Long and Miss Perry really enjoyed taking a group of Year 2 children to a football festival at Deanes. They behaved impeccably, didn’t get upset when they lost, played really well and ended up third in the group narrowly missing out on reaching the semi-finals. Well done to all of them!
