Another successful term of working with Noise Academy has seen most of other learners engage fully in our music curriculum. Tutored by Maz, the learners have thrived and applied the genres of music they love into DJ sets and soundtrack production. This ever-popular activity has learners expressing themselves and exploring their creative skills in a totally different way. The tracks are available to listen to on Soundcloud via the following link: Stream Noise Academy UK | Listen to Coritani Academy 24/25 playlist online for free on SoundCloud
This year, as part of our improved music offer, Coritani learners have had the chance to develop their music skills with a range of instruments, guitar, drums and keyboard. These sessions have created a harmonious start to the week at Coritani. The tutors who visit weekly bring expert knowledge and a range of equipment for all skill levels The aim is to promote an interest in the wider world of music and over time we hope to see some of our learners gain grades in the internationally recognised Music Grade Scale
Recently, Key stage 3 and 4 as well as the student leaders in KS2 were able to visit the Palace of Westminster. A tour and the rare treat of being able to sit on the red leather seats of the House of Lords, the Commons had asked Coritani to be involved in a photoshoot. This was followed by lunch and a walk along the Strand where we stopped at Downing Street and spent a short time relaxing in Trafalgar Square enjoying the sunshine.
A quick visit for food at Kings Cross and an added bonus this year, a train that ran on time.
Empathy Week brought the academy together to celebrate kindness and understanding. A large empathy tree was created in the foyer, with segments carefully cut and decorated by the KS2 and KS3 learners with each piece representing a unique contribution to the theme of empathy. Teachers and learners wrote messages of gratitude on leaves, expressing thanks for acts of kindness witnessed throughout the week. These leaves were then placed on the tree, creating a beautiful visual representation of the collective compassion within the academy community. The activity fostered connection, promoted kindness, and highlighted the importance of empathy in everyday school life.
In February KS3 and KS4 visited Hull to watch An Inspector Calls at the theatre. The group took public transport to Hull bus station, walking to the theatre for the start of the performance and caught the bus back to Scunthorpe at the end of the play.
The students enjoyed the performance, especially the visual effects when the set tilted forward to show the breaking apart of a family! The performance was well received which will help learners to understand the intentions of Jack Priestley when he wrote the play in 1945.
This term, our KS2 students had the exciting opportunity to attend the Into Film Festival, a nationwide event that celebrates the magic of cinema and provides young people with the chance to experience films on the big screen. Our chosen film for the trip was Kensuke’s Kingdom, and the day was filled with excitement from start to finish!
The Into Film Festival trip was a fantastic opportunity for our students to develop an appreciation for film and storytelling while also enjoying a fun day out. It was a wonderful chance to step outside the classroom and engage in a cultural experience that encouraged creativity, discussion, and imagination.
A huge thank you to the Into Film Festival for making this event possible, and to all the staff and students for making it such an enjoyable and successful trip!
