🎄 The UTC Plymouth Christmas Tree Adventure! 🎄 The students and staff at UTC Plymouth took on the hilarious challenge of collecting the biggest Christmas tree they’ve ever had! Let’s just say fitting it into the school minivan was a tree-mendous task that left them all laughing! Now proudly standing tall in the main entrance, the tree looks absolutely stunning, bringing festive cheer to everyone who walks through the doors. The holiday spirit is well and truly alive at UTC Plymouth! UTC said, we heard the Trafalgar Square tree isn’t looking its best this year… maybe they’d like to borrow ours? #UTCPlymouthChristmas #FestiveFun #TreeMendousTimes #HolidaySpirit #BetterThanTrafalgarSquare #ThinkLikeAnEngineer

At its meeting on 21st November, the Gloucestershire Planning Committee gave its approval for the new 200 place special school to be built at a site off Wheatridge in Abbeydale, Gloucester. There are growing numbers of children in Gloucestershire and across the country who need specialist provision. This purpose built school aims to deliver high quality, inclusive education for its children, many of whom are the most disadvantaged children in the region.

We were delighted to hear about the visitors from HMS Drake to Drake Primary Academy in Plymouth! The school welcomed First Lieutenant Andrew McConochie to their assembly to present some children with medals from their recent Poppy Walk, covering 1.5miles. The First Lieutenant also talked about his time in the Royal Navy inspiring the children with his career choice. They also welcomed Brigadier Tanner. The Brigadier had a tour of the school by some of the school council followed by a meeting with the Executive Headteacher to look at collaboration opportunities with HMS Drake. Such a fantastic opportunity for the children - thank you HMS Drake! #reachsouthacademytrust #opportunity #extracurricular #royalnavy
