Helpful: Honoring students who consistently go out of their way to support peers, staff, and the community. Excellent: Celebrating outstanding achievement and effort in each subject area. Ambassador: Highlighting students who represent the school with pride, showing leadership and integrity both inside and outside the classroom. 🎁 Festive Cheer & Giving Back From Christmas Jumper Day to welcoming Year 5 pupils from Fenstanton Primary School for lunch, with Manchester United Foundation giving gifts to our community, shining brightly with acts of kindness. With the support of Miss Daiki and our student ambassadors, we prepared 24 hampers for families in need, ensuring the spirit of giving is shared by all. Whether through rewards for achievement or acts of generosity, our school is proud to celebrate the values that make CHEA the heart of our community. #Courageous #Helpful #Excellent #Ambassador #CHEAValues #CommunitySpirit #RewardsAssemblies #FestiveSeason

T’is the season…..Christmas is the time of year to celebrate the message of joy, hope and cheer… this is signified by the sharing or exchange of physical gift….however some gifts are not physical but can be acts of kindesss and us sharing our happiness with others. Here at E-ACT City Heights Academy we try everyday to make our school a brighter place and I am incredibly proud of the the school we have become and of all that we have achieved. We took a moment yesterday to celebrate with Fenstanton Primary school spreading kindness over a well cooked Christmas lunch and a token of joy courtesy of Manchester United Foundation … Pupils were welcomed into the main hall to join them and to have lunch with each other and staff. So this festive season let us spread kindness wherever and whenever we can ….. #developing tomorrow’s leaders

Thursday's Teaching & Learning & Homework Parent Engagement Evening This week, we hosted a Teaching & Learning and Homework Parent Engagement Evening, which was well attended by parents eager to support their children’s learning journey. The event provided a valuable opportunity to share important insights into the structure of lessons and effective strategies for ensuring homework success. During the evening, we introduced parents to key tools that will help students excel, including ClassCharts, Sparx, and the Academy Library. These resources offer students and parents the tools they need to stay organized, track progress, and access a wealth of learning materials. It was fantastic to see such positive engagement from parents who are committed to supporting their children’s academic success. We look forward to continuing this partnership and helping students reach their full potential! #ParentEngagement #HomeworkSuccess #TeachingAndLearning #ClassCharts #Sparx #AcademyLibrary #SupportingStudents #AcademicSuccess #Partnership
