Academy news
Students from five secondary schools in Knowsley have taken part in a web based magazine project at Knowsley Enterprise Academy. The students involved decided upon the name ‘The Academy News’ or TAN for short.
Students engaged in a range of team challenges and enterprise activities to enhance their confidence and communication skills and also gained OCN accreditation in Assertiveness and Decision Making.
As the project progressed, students attended the Academy and worked in teams to design a logo for the ‘The Academy News’ and also worked with a local graphic designer to discuss ideas for the layout of the website.
Students then worked in teams to produce a range of articles for the first edition in line with the Every Child Matters aims and outcomes. Articles included ‘Tips for Internet Safety’ ‘Leisure activities in Knowsley’ ‘Changes in Education’ and much more.
The website is informative and fun –covering a range of topics written by young people for young people. It also includes tips on fashion, fun recipes and some quizzes and competitions.
We welcome input from local Knowsley businesses who can offer valuable advice (to the students) on their job roles and how they have built up their businesses.
