Spencer Trust Academies celebrate Spencer Superstars Day
Staff and students across the Spencer Academies Trust came together to celebrate the achievements of our wonderful Spencer Superstars this month and raise money for the Spencer Superstars Charitable Foundation. Activities included dress-up days, sporting events, fun fair games and BBQ’s for an action-packed day filled with celebration.
Spencer Superstars supports children to live their passions and follow their dreams by providing funding to children and young people to enable them to participate in their chosen field of excellence. Since launching in 2022, the Foundation has raised over £60,000 and helped over 100 children and young people attending Spencer Academies. Recipients so far have included budding gymnasts, a musical virtuoso and young tech genius.
Heanor Gate Spencer Academy organised an outdoor extravaganza, celebrating the day with an afternoon of events, a BBQ, staff arriving in fancy dress and activities ranging from carnival games, “staff in the stocks” and penalty shootouts to karaoke, chess tournaments and rowing machine races!
Ashwood Spencer Academy had a day of “multisports” with children receiving sponsors to take part in a series of sporting events including penalty shootouts, javelin, races, basket hoop shoot, tennis and target games!
George Spencer Academy held a “Come as your own Superstar” day, with students dressing as either someone in their personal life who inspires them, a celebrity who inspires them or a superhero!
Children from Inkersall Spencer Academy celebrated by dressing up as superheroes, organising a bake sale and enjoying a range of other events including “Sponge the Teacher”!
Fairfield Spencer Academy, Wyndham Spencer Academy, Portland Spencer Academy and Sunnyside Spencer Academy also spent the day dressed as their favourite superstars and superheroes!
Spencer Superstars would like to give a huge thank you to all of the amazing Spencer Trust academies for your support and creativity and making us all smile with your wonderful costumes and activities!
