KEMPSTON CALLING OCTOBER 2016 — 7
It is a time for change at Daubeney Academy
THE daubeney Academy community said a very warm and grateful thank you to Mr Jeremy Chopping who retired in July 2016. The Governing Body asked Mr Steven Miles to take up the role of Acting Head teacher until such time as a permanent Head teacher is appointed. daubeney Academy is a small school with big plans as it has recently joined the CMAT family of schools and is looking forward to beginning its conversion to a secondary school. during this time of transition daubeney Academy will continue to serve its community and mirror the passion that Kempston has. In a way, there are similarities to be had here, Both Kempston and daubeney Academy are small, Kempston in comparison to other towns nearby and our school when compared to some of its larger neighbours. What both have in abundance is a desire to be a cohesive community that looks after its members. during the Summer holiday the school underwent a major improvement project with the majority of classrooms being com-
pletely redecorated and receiving new flooring. These classrooms now give the students of daubeney a vibrant and outstanding learning environment. The students, all looking very
splendid in their uniforms, have had a great start to the year, especially our new year 5’s who have settled into daubeney life really well. All staff, students and everyone
involved in the daubeney community are excited about the future of daubeney as it builds on its Ofsted ‘Good’ with the goal of becoming an ‘Outstanding’ secondary school.
