Dear Parents/Guardians, I am writing to inform you about an incident that occurred in the community yesterday after school hours. We were made aware of this incident and have been working closely with local police and businesses to identify the students involved. Through our investigations, which included reviewing CCTV footage, we have identified a number of students who were involved, not only those directly participating in the incident but also those who were captured filming or encouraging it. Please be assured that we have issued serious sanctions to all students identified as being involved. We want to make it unequivocally clear that such behavior will not be tolerated within our school community. We will continue to take a firm stance on these matters moving forward to ensure the safety and well-being of all our students. Thank you for your continued support. Hannah Carter

Congratulations to our two math whizzes, brothers Brian and Jason, who both sat their Maths GCSE exams years early! Jason achieved Grade a 7 and Brian a 6!🥳 Their achievement is a fantastic example of hard work, dedication, and the power of nurturing a passion for learning.👏— Orchards Academy (@orchards_tkat) Sep 18, 2025

We’re delighted to announce the results of our 2025 Year 7 Orchards Spelling Bee. After some fierce classroom heats, 12 finalists did battle on the big stage with Scarlett and Harry the last two standing. After a brilliant semantic tussle it was Scarlett who emerged victorious 🌟— Orchards Academy (@orchards_tkat) Jul 16, 2025
