A message for our Year 7 parents and carers:

Year 7 Meet the Tutor Evening.

This event provides an opportunity for you to meet your child's form tutor, who will be supporting them throughout the academic year. It is also a chance to find out how your child has settled into Year 7, learn more about life at The Portsmouth Academy, and ask any questions you may have about the year ahead.

  • Session 1: 3:30pm to 4:15pm
  • Session 2: 4:15pm to 5:00pm

Allergy Awareness:

To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware Posters for AAW25

TPA Staff Perform 'Tangled' for End of Term Christmas Celebrations

December 16, 2022 02:39pm

 

As part of the end of term Christmas celebrations, TPA staff performed a pantomime based on the Walt Disney film Tangled, which tells the story of Rapunzel. Miss Vowles made her panto debut as Rapunzel and Mr Forster brought the smoulder as Flynn Ryder. In the TPA version, Rapunzel wants nothing more than to leave her tower to go to TPA so she can be an independent learner while Flynn Ryder steals a Golden Thinking Hat from King Woodall.  

     

The witty script was full of jokes about school life at TPA including, uniform checks, habit points, lunch queues, a trip to Chessington and the Reset Room! This year’s show also included a musical interlude, of the ‘12 days of Christmas’ performed by Miss Hart, Miss Bellazrak, Miss Blackmore and Mr Scott, with TPA themed gifts from Mrs Begum including a Be Your Best Self Journal, broken ties, red pens, litter pickers, and Thinker’s Keys. 

     

The cast for the show featured Miss Hart, Miss Blackmore, Miss Bellazrak, as the three evil witches who kept Rapunzel in her tower. Mr Scott was brilliant as Maximus the horse. Mr Burns and Mr De Caen played the Stubbington brothers with Mr De Caen doing double duty, donning the famous red dress to play Queen Red. Mrs Davis ruled the stage as King Woodall and Miss Lawrence, Mr Hassan, Miss Devoil and Mrs Scrace stole the show as the ‘Bandits of Excellence’!
