What a heartwarming moment at Stanground Academy Two of our students recently went above and beyond after witnessing an elderly lady take a nasty fall. Without hesitation, they sought help from an adult and even offered to take her to the local doctor's surgery to make sure she was okay. Their kindness, compassion, and quick thinking truly reflect the values we celebrate at STA. To recognise their incredible actions, both boys have been awarded a non-school uniform day as a small token of appreciation. We're so proud of the amazing young people in our community! #kindnessmatters #CompassionInAction #STAPride #stangroundacademy #StudentHeroes #CommunitySpirit #kindnessiscool #RoleModels #proudtobesta

"I've been thinking about fostering... but maybe in 10 years." Did you know that almost half of all people who consider fostering are thinking about it for the future? You're not alone! Most people who think about fostering imagine it happening "one day." And that's okay - it's a big decision. But, right now, across Peterborough, there are X children and young people who urgently need safe, loving homes. The kind of home where someone listens. Someone shows up. Someone makes them feel valued. Fostering doesn't mean dropping everything overnight. It starts with curiosity - with simply asking questions and seeing if it's for you. If you've ever thought, "Maybe someday," maybe today is the day you start learning more about fostering with us. Whether you have a little spare time, are looking for a more meaningful life choice, or want to give back to your community in a lasting way - fostering could be your next step. Find out how you can create moments that matter with us https://fosterwithpeterborough.org.uk/ Peterborough City Council #fostering #careergoals #jobs #peterborough #cambridgeshire

In English, our Year 8 students are diving into Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman a powerful story that explores themes of racial segregation. This week, they had the incredible opportunity to hear from Mrs McCall, who shared her personal experiences of growing up in Cape Town during Apartheid. Her presentation, alongside testimony from other South African staff at Stanground, brought the novel's themes to life in a truly meaningful way. Thank you to all who contributed to this moving and insightful session! #stangroundacademy #Year8English #noughtsandcrosses #malorieblackman #learningthroughexperience
