Excellent GCSE Results 2016 Congratulations are richly deserved by our students, staff and parents for working together so hard to gain excellent GCSE results in 2016.

The headline figures include –

   

69% of students gained an A* or A grade GCSE in English and maths 67% of students gained at least 5A* - C grades at GCSE including English and mathematics 99% of students gained at least 5A* - G grades

Maths results are excellent with 80% of students gaining an A* - C grade and 71% gaining an A* - C in English

 

88% of students gained 3 levels of progress in English and 81% in maths

100% of students entered gained an A* - C grade in science 24% of students gained at least 3A/A* and 71% at least 1x A*/A Whilst the attainment of our students in important their progress is a real indication of how successful the academy is at getting the best from them. We know that the progress our students made during the 5 years they were with us is excellent in that they do much better than similar students across the country.

DAHLICIOUS DAY Tuesday 13th September was the third Dahlicious Day to be held at The Axholme Academy. It is something the academy does for Year 7 students to help them to settle in and to lead into a Roald Dahl based unit of work studied in English.

Students spend part of the day in their mixed ability form groups, sometimes mixed with entirely different students, and finally - all together to participate in 'Puffin Live'.

The workshops ranged from creating chocolate bars to conducting experiments with rhubarb - all with a link to Dahl's stories and his life. There were lots of rewards and treats given out to students during the day too.

Every student made a donation to the Roald Dahl charity; meaning the day will benefit other children as well as them.

The 'Puffin Live' event allowed students to draw along with Quentin Blake, catch a glimpse of the West End show: 'Matilda', and learn some facts about Roald Dahl.

Staff from all different departments joined in to provide an enriching day for the Year 7s. They really enjoyed themselves!

Here are some quotes from the students: “It was the best day ever.”

“I loved Dahlicious Day because I made a chocolate bar and wrapper and I got a Golden Ticket.”

“I loved Dahlicious Day because we got to do amazing things that we wouldn’t get to do on a normal day of school.”

“It was amazing and Dahlicious.”

Do You Enjoy The Great Outdoors ? Local Community Group Seeks Support The Isle of Axholme is very fortunate to have some great local countryside to enjoy on foot, bicycle or horseback and all generations wish to preserve these safe off road routes for all users.

Bridleways are not just for horses and the community group, Axholme Bridleways Association formed in 2012 to promote the use of bridleways by all users and help preserve local routes. We are working positively with North Lincolnshire Council with the creation of the Axholme Greenway bridleway to link Isle villages using part of a Heritage Lottery Grant.

Axholme Bridleways Association has well over 100 members who are walkers, runners, dog walkers, cyclists and horse riders and meets approximately every 6-8 weeks (see website or facebook page for up to date information). It is important that local people understand about the 2026 ruling of The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which states that rights of way in existence on 1 January 1949 but not on the definitive map and statement by 1 January 2026 will be lost forever. The Axholme Bridleways Association Secretary, Dennis Oliver, is a member of the Local Access Form and is helping with the Council Project 'North Lincolnshire's Lost Ways' which is researching lost routes prior to 2026. Local people are invited to liaise with Axholme Bridleways Association regarding routes they use to ensure that these are all noted on our local definitive maps.

Axholme Bridleways Association members enjoy events such as walks and fun days to raise funds and have contributed over ÂŁ2000 to local charities including Lindsey Lodge Hospice, Lincs/ Notts Air Ambulance, Macmillan Cancer Care, Isle Rescue, Mayflower Sanctuary, Bransby Horses, Rossington Riding for the Disabled, Natural England and TIA Rescue.

The group always welcomes new members. Membership is just ÂŁ5 for a year and as well as supporting the group, all adult members receive many discount vouchers kindly donated by local businesses. Find us on facebook or via the website www.axholmebridleways.co.uk

This lovely boy is Freddie, a 5 year old Tabby cat. Freddie has been handed into the Rescue by his owners as he became very stressed at the arrival of their new baby. Freddie is a lovely, affectionate cat who seems fine with other cats, but would obviously be best in a home with older children. He is just one of our lovely cats, who are all looking for their new homes- all are neutered, fully vaccinated and micro-chipped. If you would like to come and meet Freddie or any of our other cats, please call Isle Rescue on 01427 728705.

Sponsor a room and help a hospice patient such as Andrew You can make a difference during Hospice Care Week by helping patients such as Andrew Smith, 46, who has a rare terminal illness that leaves him breathless and unable to complete basic daily tasks.

The hospice is launching a “Sponsor A Patient Room” campaign to enable patients such as Andrew, from Bottesford, to have a more comfortable, homely stay during their last moments at Lindsey Lodge Hospice in Scunthorpe.

Andrew, who has seven children, has a rare form of pneumonia that progressed to pulmonary fibrosis, and he’s gone from being a fit healthy engineer to being unable to work and at one point dropping under 8 stone.

After a holiday in August 2011 Andrew was admitted to hospital for a year after feeling lethargic and getting blotches on his face. He had to undergo three lung operations in the space of eight weeks to try and save his lungs.

“The care I receive at Lindsey Lodge is second-to-none,” said Andrew, who’s had the life-debilitating illness for 5 years.

“I’ve been in and out of the hospice for the past 5 months and it never ceases to amaze me how phenomenal this place, especially because it’s run mostly from funds donated by the public.”

The hospice on Burringham Road has to raise 79% of its funds to run the vital service that cares for 150 local people every week with end of life illnesses.

The money it receives is purely spent on patient care which is why patient rooms haven’t been refurbished for 15 years and the hospice, and Andrew, is urgently calling for business or individuals to help with their “Sponsor A Room” campaign during Hospice Care Week commencing 3rd October.

“It would be great if businesses could join forces to update patient rooms,” added Andrew.

“I think it would make a real difference to make it more modern and up-to-date.”

Julie Cole, facilities officer from Lindsey Lodge Hospice, is launching the campaign to revitalise eight patient rooms and it will cost £2,000 per room to refurbish them with durable, modern furniture, furnishings and decorating.

“We are looking for business or individuals to come forward and help improve our patients comfort and surroundings,” said Julie.

“Over the past 15 years the furnishings have had unavoidable wear and tear so we think it’s time to renew it all and refresh our look in Spring.

“No matter how small or large the donation it would be much appreciated and will be recognised on a thank you plaque in the room.”

If you are able to help please contact Julie from Lindsey Lodge Hospice on 01724 270835 or email Julie.cole4@nhs.net Lindsey Lodge Hospice is also celebrating during Hospice Care Week (3rd to 9th October) with 15 events including; Public Open Evenings 5pm to 7.30pm Monday to Friday, Visits For Professionals 12pm to 1pm and 5pm to 7.30pm Monday to Friday and Afternoon Tea At The Dennis Nash Exhibition from 2.30pm to 4.30pm on Saturday at Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
