    A massive well done to Isabel Dodge in Year 11!  She has made a set of scrubs from scratch to donate to Lincoln County Hospital. Isabel and her family are members of ‘For the love of scrubs – Lincoln’. Members source funding, materials and do a lot of sewing of PPE for staff who need it.  If you want to help this excellent cause or find out more information please click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FLOS.Lincoln/?ref=share

  • Marathon for the NHS Charities Together

    Published 22/04/20, by Samantha Davis

    Let’s do something amazing, together!  As an Academy we have an exciting opportunity for you to get involved in fundraising to say thank you to the NHS.  On Monday 27th April our ‘Marathon for the NHS’ launches.  Can you run or walk the distance of a marathon in 7 days?  You can do this on your own, as a household or as part of the collective total.  Students and parents/carers have been sent an email or you can head over to the PE SharePoint page and click on the ‘LSST Marathon for the NHS’ tab for more details.  As we want to do this to say thank you to the NHS, we have chosen NHS Charities Together as the beneficiary of our donations.  We look forward to seeing how many people we can get involved to say a massive thank you to the NHS.

  • Further donation to support the care services

    Published 22/04/20, by Samantha Davis

    Having already donated all PPE from the Academy, staff were grateful to discover that they could still help supply equipment for the caring services.  The Academy was recently contacted by Rolls Royce, who were seeking transparencies to make visors.  Thank goodness that teachers are a profession of hoarders as stationery cupboards across the site were emptied of their acetates and transparent sheets.  As a result of this on Friday we were able to send ten boxes of transparencies to Rolls Royce to assist them in protecting key workers in the caring services.

  • Y9 raises funds for MDNA

    Published 22/04/20, by Samantha Davis

    One of our students in Year 9 has done some incredible fundraising.

    On Thursday 9th April Catherine shaved off her hair in order to raise money for MDNA, a charity that helps those who suffer with Motor Neurone Disease. Catherine’s paternal grandfather died of MND in 2004 and two other family members since. Catherine decided on the Monday before undertaking the shave that she wanted to do something to support MDNA's work.

    Initially she aimed to raise £250 but now has raised just over £1,000. An incredible effort! We know her family are incredibly proud of her efforts here and so are we. Being in isolation she wanted to do something different and she has certainly done that. Catherine has made a huge difference for a charity close to her family’s hearts.

    If you would like to support Catherine in raising more funds please visit her Just Giving Page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cathy-davies-14

    You can also view a video of the moment Catherine’s head was shaved here:

    Catherine is also donating her hair to the Princess Trust that make wigs for children with cancer.

    Well done Catherine! A fantastic effort!!’

  • Another PPE donation to support the NHS

    Published 16/04/20, by Samantha Davis

    On Wednesday a second and final amount of PPE was donated to Lincoln County Hospital in an effort to support their work in caring for our community.

    Last week staff at the Academy initially responded to a specific request to supply a quantity of goggles, but subsequently took the decision to donate remaining equipment to support work in the current crisis.

    As the equipment was handed over to a senior nurse, she was most grateful for all the PPE, particularly for the goggles again, which can be reused and surpassed those which they were presently using.  She wished to pass on her thanks to both staff and students at the Academy and said it would be distributed where most needed.

    Our own thanks to the Science department, Mr M Inman of site staff, for helping senior staff collect the resources before delivery and of course to all keyworkers and carers for their on going work.

  • Easter Gift

    Published 16/04/20, by Samantha Davis

    On Tuesday, staff took delivery of a parcel which included a vast amount of crème eggs! This lovely gift was sent from staff at Lincoln University and included the following message in the parcel:

     

    “Happy belated Easter. This is as a thank you for all the support of the students until we can work together again!”

     

    These are much appreciated and will no doubt be shared by staff with students, as we all support each other in these unusual circumstances.

  • Teenage Cancer Trust Cake Sale

    Published 17/03/20, by Admin

    On the 5th of February the Boarding House hosted a cake sale to fundraise for Teenage Cancer Trust. A wide variety of cakes and pastries were baked by the boarders and the boarding staff in preparation for the event. In three hours all of the cakes were sold and £223 was raised for such a fantastic cause. We are grateful for all of the students and staff who baked, donated and spread the word about the event and we hope you enjoyed a treat.

    As you may have heard, Miss Bosier is running the London Marathon to raise money and awareness for the charity. Unfortunately, the event has been postponed until the Autumn running season on the 4th of October, so Miss Bosier has more time for her training and hopefully fundraise even more.
