have not led to sufficient improvement. Although standards are beginning to rise, pupils do not achieve as well as they should by the end of Year 11." In August 2021 the school decided to shoot a fox and her three cubs dead who lived near the field. This caused outrage with many asking why they didn't pay to rehome them. Extracurricular activities Every summer students are encouraged to give up their time to help out at various groups and activities serving the community. Summer Camps, Play schemes and activity weeks across the south see students from the academy volunteer and bring their skills and abilities to help other children have a great summer. The academy also runs activity weeks abroad working alongside local charities in countries such as, Thailand, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Romania and Sri Lanka. The academy also works closely with a Bible School in Denmark taking students from the academy. Awards and achievements In 2015, pupils won a competition to design a new social media app or website for teenagers and presented their creations to a panel of judges in a competition organised by the Clear Computing company. This was the second year in a row that teams from the academy had reached the final three. In 2016 the head girl won the Diana Memorial Award for her volunteering work. In July 2018, a team from the school won the national final of a rocket car competition. The year-seven trio designed and built a miniature rocket car that reached 66.1 mph in less than one second in the final.
