This evening is for pupils who are considering applying to the Academy’s Sixth Form for September 2017.
The Friends of Whitburn Church of England Academy (formerly the PTA) will be holding our ever popular Christmas Fayre at the Academy on Thursday November 24th from 5pm until 7pm.
There will be plenty of stalls selling a wide variety of items – some made by our children and staff and some external stall holders too. Buy something as a Christmas gift, to keep for yourself, or to eat or drink! We will have a grand raffle with some fabulous prizes
Cakes, mince pies, sweets, and hot and cold drinks will also be on sale (including mulled wine – non-alcoholic, so you can still drive home!)
The choir and band will be providing entertainment to get everyone into the Christmas mood!
So, if you feel like doing some early shopping or simply want to come and have a cuppa with a mince pie while listening to the choir and band, we’d love to see you. It’s always a lovely evening!

Our Christmas Service will take place on Thursday 15th December 2016 at 7:00pm in Whitburn Parish Church; this is a lovely family occasion so please join us in our traditional carol service. Everyone is welcome but please note that we cannot reserve seats.
There will be a retiring collection at the end of the service in aid of the charity Shelter. The Friends of Whitburn CofE Academy will be selling mince pies with a complimentary glass of sherry after the service.
We will hold our Christmas Service for all pupils on Friday 16th December 2016, the last morning of the school term, after which pupils will be dismissed at approximately 12:30pm. There will be no scholars’ bus service at this time or school lunches.
The last day of term will be a non-uniform day, with pupils being encouraged to make a donation of £1 towards the charities Shelter and Wearside Women in Need. Pupils should be modestly dressed but may wear clothing appropriate to the festive season e.g. Christmas jumpers! Pupils are asked to bring as little as possible to school on this day, with only writing equipment needed.
May we take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and to wish you a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year. We look forward to welcoming back all of our pupils on Wednesday 4th January 2017.
