Some of our students had the amazing opportunity to perform at the Riley Theatre today as part of their Regional Performance for a collaborative project called Making Moves. Throughout the day, they took part in engaging movement and reflection workshops, and we’re incredibly proud of their dedication and creativity.

Our Y8 Shaping Our Future students have spent the morning visiting CATCH Leeds in Harehills to spend time meeting business volunteers to find out more about different careers, along with the opportunity to feed goats and walk alpacas and llamas. Our students had a great time and were excellent ambassadors for Cockburn John Charles Academy.
