A huge thank you to Mrs Jacobs for giving me the time to plan and run a series of fundraising events in memory of our friend and colleague, Marcus Treadgold.
🏃♂️ The NOA Marathon brought our school community together in the most incredible way. With over £500 raised, every painful step was absolutely worth it.
⚽ The legendary Staff vs Sixth Form football match made a triumphant return, drawing a crowd of over 200 students (past and present), parents, and staff. Team Evans edged out Team McGibbon 4–3, but the real winner was the British Heart Foundation, with over £550 raised!
🏐 Our netball tournament was a hit, giving students the chance to take on their favourite staff members. The staff women's team were victorious! It was such a success that there’s already demand for a rematch next year – watch this space!
🌧️ Even the rain couldn’t dampen spirits on Sports Day, which wrapped up our fundraising efforts and pushed our total to an amazing £1,411.42 for the British Heart Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who donated, supported, and helped us honour a truly great man.
As I leave NOA, I’m proud to have contributed to something that reflects the heart of our school and its values. Wishing the entire NOA community all the very best for the future.
