Welcome Miss Cox

Children in West Base 2 will welcome a new teacher to IPACA in September, Miss Cox. Miss Cox spent all of last week with us at Osprey Quay Campus meeting the children and getting to know the staff, parents and members of the community that support learning here at IPACA.

Miss Cox, who previously worked in a school in Bournemouth, likes to use her imagination and initiative when teaching in order to meet the needs of pupils who have many barriers to learning. Miss Cox believes that consistency, trust and respect are vital to managing behaviour. 

In her spare time, Miss Cox has volunteered for the charity 'Kids Company' which provides children with a summer holiday who may otherwise not have that opportunity. She says that this role involved, 'having fun with the children; bringing out the best in them and providing pastoral care'. 

Miss Cox looks forward to getting to know everyone better in September.

Year 5 Transition day at Royal Manor

What a fantastic day we had at Royal Manor Campus today for the Year 5 transition day.

A very big thank you to the many members of staff who welcomed us into their teaching spaces and gave us taster sessions in some of the specialist areas we will be able to use during the next academic year.

We had a great day learning about Engineering, Computer Science, Maths, Art, Drama, Archery and even some Maths and English. Phew!

Another thank you goes to all the brilliant IPACA students who made every one of us feel at home on our new campus.

Engineering Problem Solving. The towers produced were brilliant who knew you could make such tall towers with only marshmallows, spaghetti and masking tape!
