Issue 1 Summer Term 2011 Freebrough Prom 2011 The 2011 Freebrough Prom took place in glittering style on 24 June at Gisborough Hall Hotel. Students enjoyed welcome drinks (non alcoholic of course), a two course meal, an awards ceremony and the chance to dance the night away! As part of the awards ceremony students voted for their choice of Prom King and Queen, best dancer, most likely student to become famous, most likely to be Mr Universe and most likely to become an evil genius, with trophies for the winners. Next year there will be an extra award for the Best 'Dad' Dancer, which is sure to be won by Mr Forteath! One of the highlights of the evening was a specially hired photo booth where students could go with friends to make an extra special keepsake and all students received a beautiful cupcake to enjoy the next day as a reminder of an excellent night. Huge thanks go to Mrs Rich and the Prom Committee for organising the event. Film Club Screening After a very successful first year the Freebrough Academy Film Club held a special screening celebration hosted by Reagan Kempton, our school co-ordinator, who travelled here from London especially for the event. The students involved watched a film called Life in a Day - a documentary made up of a series of clips all filmed on 24th July 2010. It shows how vastly different people's lives and experiences are.

Superstar Student Well done to Jessica King, Year 10, who scored full marks in her GCSE English Language Speaking and Listening Controlled Assessment! Sports Day On Friday 1 July the whole academy joined together for a full day of sport as part of National School Sports Week. The four small schools competed against each other in football, benchball, basketball and rounders, with staff and students taking part together. Miss McNulty, who organised sports day, said: “The atmosphere in and around the academy was fantastic and it was excellent to see staff and students working together, in all of the games, in such a competitive way. I’m already looking forward to next year’s sports day and seeing if Inspiration can hold on to their title!” Results 1st Place - Inspiration 2nd Place - Innovation 3rd Place - Aspiration 4th Place - Motivation
