delighted to announce that Hanson School has a new
Principal who will formally take up her post next
term. Elizabeth Churton is currently Principal of
De Lacy Academy in Knottingley,
Ms

Tom Megahy
Associate Principal
“It is an honour for me to be given the opportunity
to serve the students and the community of Hanson
Academy. I really believe that Hanson has the
potential to become a great school over the coming
years and it will be my intention to work with you
to discover our unique selling point and shape our
future together.
It is essential that parents/carers feel that the
school is doing its very best in providing the best
education it can. Shortly after I take up post I
shall be asking for their views on how the school
has built up relationships and how this could be
improved in the future.”

Attendance Draw
We are pleased to announce our new weekly Attendance
Draw. This aims to recognise and reward those
students who maintain 100% attendance and
punctuality. Promoting excellence in these areas
serves to support student progress, achievement and
enjoyment and instills good habits in preparation
for future education and employment. £20 of
Amazon vouchers are awarded to the winner of the
draw and, as we say to the students,
'You've got to be in it to win it!'

Congratulations Amy
We would like to congratulate
Amy in Year8 for coming first in
the Summer Series for her age group at the Bradford
Bandits BMX Club.
The Bradford Bandits BMX Club
meets at Peel Park every Tuesday and Thursday. In
order for Amy to win the trophy she had to be in the
top three of her age group and achieve points by
coming first, second or third in competitions during
the summer series.
Amy competes all year round and
the next tournament that she will be taking
part in is the Nationals. This talent clearly run’s
in Amy’s family as her dad also won the trophy for
his age group.
Amy’s aim is to compete in the
2016 Olympics we wish her all the best.
Well done Amy.
