We Are One

At The Portsmouth Academy, we love to engage with several trust-wide We Are One events throughout the year. 

The We Are One events are led by the Thinking Schools Academy Trust and provide an opportunity for our pupils and staff to join other schools, academies and colleges from across the country for an event with a common aim and objectives. 

Our We Are One events are celebratory in tone and come with a variety of engaging activities for all ages to enjoy. They remind our pupils that they are a member of something beyond The Portsmouth Academy; We Are One demonstrates to our pupils they are part of a network of thousands of others who come together as one, hence #WeAreOne. 

Our We Are One events vary from day, to week, to a month-long timetable of activities for our pupils and staff to engage.

At The Portsmouth Academy, our We Are One events over the years have included: Black History Month, World Book Day, Children in Need, International Women's Day, LGBTQ+ History Month, TSArTs Week and World Earth Day.

We also created a video of the In Flanders Field poem to stand with other schools in our trust and remember those who gave their lives so we could have our day, which you can watch on this page.
