Today we celebrated this little lot getting their Golden Sashes for a variety of reasons - including learning their phonics, blending new words, working hard and so much more.
Mr Leathers was really impressed with all of them today and they are looking forward to going trampling as their reward for being A-MA-ZING! Well done everyone 
We're here to help, don’t hesitate to give us a call on:

This week at Co-op Academy Portland
Careers Fair
wow! A huge well done to Co-op Academy Woodslee for putting on an excellent Careers Fayre.
#TeamPortland really enjoyed meeting all the different people from so many different types of work.
We had doctors, architects, paramedics, people from the food industry, civil and industrial engineers, a pastor from a local church, people who support schools, two ladies from Nuclear Industry and so many other really interesting and inspiring people.
A huge thank you for our invitation we really appreciated it. Also thank you to all the people who gave up their time to inspire our children.
Mr Leathers and Mrs Smith were really proud of how they represented Portland.
A World of Wonder in Apple Class
In Apple Class, we're absolutely loving diving into our child-led interests, and what an incredible few days it's been! Our imaginations have soared, transforming us into bug hunters, artists, authors, architects, police officers, and even chefs!
We believe that imagination is a powerful tool for growth and development. So, here's a little challenge for you: take a moment to see the world through the eyes of your child. You might be amazed at what you discover and who you can become!
This superstar received the Head Teacher’s reward from Mr Leathers for her fantastic writing!
Zoom and have a read - well done it’s fantastic
A big welcome from Co-op Academy Woodslee to Co-op Academy Rathbone!
Thrilled to have you join the Co-op Academies Trust family. We look forward to achieving great things together!

REWARDS
Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Portland, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.
