Dear Parents/ Carers,
It is always with immense pride that I share the many
achievements of our pupils.
We have had a very successful past 2 terms, with our
pupils from Primary to 6th Form doing their very best to
achieve their potential and developing their talents.
We continually set the bar high in lessons, in the oppor-
tunities we provide and as you can, see our pupils have
continued to build their resilience, growth mind-sets
and team skills by rising to the top in house and in open
competitions.
It is not surprising that nearly 80% of our pupils go on to
University every year and I would encourage our Year
11 pupils and their parents who are yet to complete
their 6th Form applications to do so soon. Last year we
had just under 400 applicants, which demonstrates the
demand for our ‘Good’ 6th Form, as judged by Ofsted.
Healthy Eating
The school canteen has an impressive variety of healthy food options for breakfast, lunch and
break. Please encourage your child not to purchase unhealthy options (doughnuts, cookies,
crisps & sweets) from the surrounding supermarkets and shops. We are a healthy eating school
and these items along with sugary fizzy drinks and energy drinks are not allowed in school or in
packed lunches. This applies to all our pupils in primary, secondary and the 6th Form.
On page 9, there is a reminder of the many extra-curricular and enrichment clubs for pupils
which take place at lunch time and after school. Please encourage your child to participate in
developing their learning's outside the classrooms. They will develop so many valuable skills that
will open up doors to access jobs, higher education and most importantly build their relation-
ships with other pupils and adults.
I look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming Parents’ Evenings and Parent Forums (page 9),
where you will have the opportunity to hear about developments across the Academy and how
you can support your child to do their very best.
As always, it is my privilege to work with your child to enable them to achieve their very best.
Thank you for your continued support.
Dr T Bennett

KTG Christmas Fair
T his year, KTG staff and pupil’s began the
Christmas festivities with yet another successful
Christmas Fair.
Ms Allison, our Nursery Nurse, supported by the PTA -
organised the Christmas Fair in the Dining Hall on
Wednesday 14th December 2016.
Every primary staff member had a stall which includ-
ed guessing games to win a prize, Christmas crack-
ers search, face painting and Father Christmas even
made a guest appearance.
We were really pleased to have an impressive turn
out of parents and PTA members who not only at-
tended the event but also volunteered to run stalls.
Your support is well and truly appreciated.
To crown it all, we raised £718.00! Thank you to all
our parents, staff and pupils who supported in mak-
ing this event a resounding success!

Drama Department
E arlier this year, the Drama Department
put forward 10 boys from across Years 8
& 9 to audition for the BBC’s new drama ,
Damilolla our loved boy; based on the true
story of Damilola Taylor.
After several rounds of auditions, Joshua Da-
vid in Year 9 was successfully selected to
play the role of Damilola’s friend.
The drama aired on BBC One on Monday
7th November 2016. Well done to all the pu-
pils who auditioned and congratulations to
Joshua on his debut acting performance.
O ur Health and Social Care Cur-
riculum includes the provision of excit-
ing opportunities for pupils to experi-
ence the practical side of Health and
Social Care. This includes opportunities
to visit care homes, hospitals and
groups to work with vulnerable mem-
bers of the society , including the elder-
ly and people with learning disabilities.
This year, our Health and Social Care
class had the opportunity to meet and work with a group known as the “Bobby Dazzler’s”. The
relationship between Knights Academy and the “Bobby Dazzler’s”began in 2013 with the Head
of Department, Mrs Elliot. The Bobby Dazzler’s are a group of friends made up of senior citizens
aged between 70-94 years old , who met 14 years ago when attending a social session at the
Ringway Community Centre in Grove Park. Our pupils worked with the group by participating
with the activities the group engage in and developing closer relationships through effective
communication.
We also had the opportunity to host the group for Christmas dinner at our Secondary phase.
The evening began with various entertaining games, a tour of our modern school and ended
with a lovely dinner and Christmas gift presentations. The Bobby Dazzlers thoroughly enjoyed
their time at Knights Academy and said they looked forward to visiting the school again. Thank
you to our staff and pupils who contributed in making this visit a success.

A huge congratulations to the Year 12 Elite
Business team, led by Miss Kusi, who won
the Haberdashers’ annual Academy Awards
for Business Innovation.
Their winning proposal was an app called
IndeGO, which allows parents and pupils to
shut down their children's social media apps
for a set amount of time so that the pupils can
focus on their independent study without be-
ing distracted.
Well done to Sangavi, Queency, Faruk, Davou,
Sung, Eliakim, Tony, Anushan and Simone for
their efforts and presentation of this excellent
idea.
They have been invited to present their idea
on behalf of the Haberdashers' schools in the
grand finale on Tuesday 31st January. The fi-
nals will be taking place at the Mansion House
in London, in front of the Lord Mayor and other
distinguished guests.
We wish them all the best of luck!

I t was not until their 2nd game that our Year
11 Football team found their winning streak
and comfortably beat an energetic Burlington
Danes Academy team by 9 goals to nil! This
win has brought them one step closer to the

ers’ badge and they are relishing the moment.

Year 9&10 Blackheath Cup Winners 2014/15 & 2015/16
K nights’ Girl’s Football team got off to
a great start this academic year.
From Years 7 to 13, the teams have consist-
ently turned up for the Wednesday Millwall
training sessions which take place between
3.30pm and 5.00pm weekly.
This dedication has helped the girls improve
their skills and knowledge of the game. Their
efforts will go a long way to ensuring we se-
cure more fixtures and compete successfully
in the upcoming Cup Challenges. Shamoy
Campbell, Alicia Mcgowan and Tlyssa
Ologunja are an asset to the team both on
and off the pitch. They have become great
role models for our younger players and have
helped with the progression of some of our
Year 8 players particularly Trisha Rose Lafegu-
era who has shown tremendous improve-
ment and confidence.
Our current Year 8 and 9 teams are the
Blackheath Cup Champions for the second
year running and we hope to keep our title
for a third year.

W inning the Bromley Cup competi-
tion last year has made the boys up
their game and has led to a record
winning streak this year.
I am pleased to report that so far, the boys
remain unbeaten. This is largely thanks to
their water tight defence, and the athleticism
and bravery of their Goalkeeper, D’Shaun
Brown.
