Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts. 
During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride.

Despite the very wet weather, nine determined school teams gathered for second round of the EFL Kids Utilita Cup, A tournament filled with energy, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The event brought together some of the most talented young footballers in the area, each team eager to show off their skills and fight for the top spot.

Smith's Wood Primary Academy proudly took part in the competition and gave a fantastic performance throughout the day. The matches were tough, with every team proving to be strong, well-prepared, and hard to beat. Despite the fierce competition, our team showed great determination, teamwork, and resilience.

After a series of thrilling matches, Smith's Wood Primary Academy finished in an impressive 4th place out of 9 teams! This is a brilliant achievement considering the high level of play and the determination shown by all the schools involved.

👏 A huge well done to all the players for their hard work and positive attitude. You made your school proud! Special thanks also go to the coaches, staff, and families who supported the team every step of the way.

Yesterday was National Outdoor Classroom Day and in true Smith's Wood style, we celebrated it with an engaging theme day. The children participated in lessons that took place outdoors and had an Autumnal theme. There was everything from leafy collages to planting daffodils!
