A message for our Year 7 parents and carers:

Year 7 Meet the Tutor Evening.

This event provides an opportunity for you to meet your child's form tutor, who will be supporting them throughout the academic year. It is also a chance to find out how your child has settled into Year 7, learn more about life at The Portsmouth Academy, and ask any questions you may have about the year ahead.

  • Session 1: 3:30pm to 4:15pm
  • Session 2: 4:15pm to 5:00pm

Allergy Awareness:

To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware Posters for AAW25

Alex inspires others with his Muay Thai boxing success

February 29, 2024 10:59am

Alex, a year 8 pupil at The Portsmouth Academy, has been on an inspiring journey since he started Muay Thai boxing two years ago.

His dedication and commitment to the sport have not only led to personal achievements but have also transformed him in various aspects of his life.

In the span of two years, Alex has actively participated in exhibition fights against other local clubs, showcasing his skills and determination. He has successfully progressed through his gradings, attaining the orange belt, which is a testament to his hard work and perseverance.

Training three times a week, Alex dedicates his evenings to Muay Thai, engaging in a rigorous routine that includes cardiovascular exercises, technical improvement sessions within a group setting, and sparring with fellow practitioners. Through this disciplined regimen, he has not only honed his physical abilities but has also cultivated a greater sense of self-discipline, improved his personal fitness levels, and boosted his self-confidence significantly.

His journey is not just a personal triumph but also a source of pride for his peers in his tutor group. Alex's dedication and progress exemplify the positive impact that sport can have on an individual's life, fostering discipline, fitness, and self-confidence.
