We currently have 50 students learning a musical instrument in the school, these students partake in clubs and bands within in the academy but also perform outside of this.

We are proud to showcase our talent within school and now able to share this recognition with our community.

Anne Mirkovic, who attended Kingswood Secondary Academy from 2003 to 2010, was honoured with an accolade at an event in parliament celebrating ‘Women in Westminster’. This annual recognition celebrates inspirational and influential women in Westminster, highlighting their invaluable contributions to public life.

Having co-chaired Women in Public Affairs (WiPA) alongside a demanding day job as a government relations manager for a multinational business, Anne has been instrumental in empowering women in the public affairs sector. Under her co-leadership, WiPA has seen remarkable growth, boasting over 2,000 members. Anne’s dedication to advocating for gender equality and industry transparency has earned her widespread recognition.

Expressing her gratitude to her former school, Anne remarked, “I was fortunate that politics was added as a brand-new subject in 2008 when I started my A Levels. There is no way I could have been recognised for my work at WiPA without the amazing teaching I experienced at school”. She commended the teachers at Kingswood Secondary Academy for their dedication and credited them for enabling her career path. “I’m so proud to have learned from some of the best”, Anne added.

Karen Martindale, Deputy Principal at Kingswood Secondary Academy, expressed her delight at Anne’s visit, reminiscing about Anne’s time as a student. “Anne was a fabulous student to teach, an absolute delight, and I am incredibly proud of what she has gone on to achieve”, said Karen. She fondly shared memories with Anne about other former teachers whom Anne remembered fondly.

During her visit, Anne talked to students in Years 10, 11 and 12, sharing her career journey and the role Kingswood Secondary Academy played in shaping her aspirations. The highlight of the visit was a question-and-answer session, where students eagerly posed questions to Anne.

A Year 12 student, Sarah, asked Anne how she copes with the pressure of having to influence other people and how she inspires people. Anne emphasised the need for resilience and credited her source of inspiration to the supportive teachers during her school years and politicians who instilled the courage to step beyond her comfort zone. She encouraged students to “be curious, make new connections as you never know where they might lead, be proactive, be yourself, and listen to your teachers as they have great advice”.

Anne’s visit served as a source of inspiration for the students, demonstrating that with determination and hard work, they too can achieve remarkable success. Kingswood Secondary Academy remains proud of its alumni and looks forward to continuing to nurture the next generation of inspirational leaders.

All students are expected to leave the premises at this time. 

Students have already informed their form tutors if they will be having a Christmas lunch, so the catering staff have an idea of how many to cater for. 

The cost is £3.95.

Pupils that normally receive FSM will still be able to have a Christmas lunch if they wish.
