    A culture built upon freedom and equality, where everyone is aware of their rights and responsibilities.

  • The rule of law

    The need for rules to make a happy, safe and secure environment to live and work.

💙 Hello Team Blue! 💙

Welcome back to a brand new term! I hope you all had a well-deserved rest over the Easter break. I’m really looking forward to brighter days, more sunshine, and all of the exciting things this term has in store for us.

I want to start by saying how incredibly proud I am of everything you’ve achieved so far. Blue House is doing brilliantly — not only with house points, but also with attendance. That consistency, commitment, and team spirit really set you apart, and it’s fantastic to see. Keep it up!

To our amazing Year 11s, this is your moment. As you begin your GCSE exams, I want to wish you the very best of luck. You’ve worked so hard to get to this point, and you should be really proud of yourselves. Stay focused, believe in your abilities, and give it your all — we are all behind you every step of the way.

This term is full of opportunities, and I want to encourage everyone to get involved in as many competitions as possible. Every point counts, and every bit of participation helps strengthen our house. With summer events coming up, there’s so much to look forward to.

And of course… Sports Day is just around the corner — the biggest day of the year for our house system! I know the Blue House spirit will be out in full force, and I can’t wait to see you all giving it your all, supporting one another, and representing Team Blue with pride.

Let’s keep the momentum going, celebrate every success, and make this a term to remember.

Let’s go, Team Blue! 💙

Miss Pearson

💚 Welcome Back, Green House! 💚

As our Year 11s step into exam season, we want to send every single one of you our full support and belief. You’ve put in the hours, the effort, and the determination to reach this point. Now it’s time to trust yourselves just as much as we trust you. 
To the rest of Green House – your contribution matters just as much. The way you support one another, strive for excellence, and uphold the values of our house is what makes Green House such a strong and inspiring community. Keep pushing for those high standards.
We also want to celebrate something brilliant: Term 4 saw a massive increase in positive house points for Green House. This is a huge achievement and a reflection of your hard work, kindness, and determination. Let’s keep this momentum going and show what Green House can achieve when we all pull together.
Together, we lift each other up. With encouragement and resilience, there’s no limit to what we can accomplish.

Mr Reed

Welcome back Orange House. 

As we continue through this term, I want to take a moment to celebrate just how much Orange House has already achieved. Your commitment, teamwork and positive attitude have been clear to see, whether in lessons, events or the way you support one another every day. These successes haven’t happened by chance — they are the result of consistent effort and pride in our House, and we should all be proud of how far we’ve come.
There is also so much to look forward to. With exciting House events ahead, including Sports Day, this is our opportunity to build on our momentum. A special reminder to Year 10s — this will be your final Sports Day, so get involved, give it your all and make it one to remember. We also have Aspire Rewards to look forward to, so make sure you have earned your badges to be included and recognised for your efforts. Every event is another chance for Orange House to stand out.
To our Year 11s especially, this final stretch is challenging but incredibly important. Stay focused, trust the work you’ve already put in and keep pushing forward. Every revision session, every lesson and every small bit of effort adds up. You’ve already shown resilience and determination this year — now is the time to finish strong. Keep supporting one another and continue to represent Orange House with pride. We’ve got this. 🧡

Miss Brader 

💜Welcome Back Purple House for the Summer Term💜

Welcome back to the start of the summer term, everyone in Purple House. As the days grow longer and the sunshine becomes a more regular feature of our mornings, this is a brilliant time for fresh motivation, renewed focus and positive energy. Summer always brings a sense of opportunity, and I hope you are returning feeling rested and ready to make the most of everything this term has to offer.
A special message goes to our Year 11 students. The final stretch is here, and we are incredibly proud of the hard work, determination and resilience you continue to show in the run-up to your exams. Just like the brighter mornings and lighter evenings, your efforts now will lead to positive outcomes. Keep pushing, stay organised, and remember that every revision session and lesson attended counts. We all believe in you and wish you the very best of luck in your upcoming exams.
For the rest of Purple House, let’s use the energy of the season to support one another, aim high and continue to show kindness, respect and pride in our community. I’m excited to see what this term brings and to celebrate your successes along the way. Let’s make this a sunny, successful and memorable summer term for Purple House at Giles Academy.

Mrs Graves 

🎉 Welcome Back to Term 5, Red House! 🔴

I hope you all had a restful break and are ready for the opportunities and challenges ahead. This is always a busy and important term, especially for our Year 11 students, who are now approaching their final exams. To all of you in Year 11: we wish you the very best of luck. Remember that your hard work, resilience, and preparation have brought you to this point—stay focused, believe in yourselves, and give it your all.
For everyone in Red House, this term is a chance to reset and refocus. One of the most powerful tools you have is your attitude. A positive mindset can make a real difference—not just in your academic work, but in how you approach challenges, support others, and grow as individuals. There will always be obstacles, but choosing to face them with determination and optimism will help you go further than you might expect.
Let’s continue to support one another, show pride in our house, and make this a term full of effort, kindness, and success. I look forward to seeing all that you achieve.
Welcome back—and let’s make it a great term.

Miss Rimmer

Welcome Back, Yellow House!

May I start by welcoming you all back to the start of our Summer Term. I hope you have had a peaceful break and are ready to avail of the opportunities and challenges which lie ahead of us for the remainder of the academic year.

To all Year 11s who are beginning their GCSE examinations, I want to wish you the very best of luck. You have all worked incredibly hard to this point and hope you are able to show how much you have achieved in your years here at Giles. Remember to stay calm, pace yourselves and believe in your abilities. Everyone here is ready to support you, and watch you succeed.

To the rest of Yellow House, I would like to commend you on the resilience you have all shown since September. I am inspired by how you have represented your house this year with maturity, respect and determination. I hope that together we can keep that momentum going until the end of the year. We have, as a house team, plenty of opportunities to step towards our aspirations – be it in the classroom, on the sports field, or simply in how we support one another day to day.

 Together, we climb.

Mr Waring
