Walkden Wire 30th April 2026 Edition

This is our pupil lead Walkden Wire page, dedicated to connecting the community with our academy. 

Here you will find our Co-op Values in action!

Class no 1: Photography, Mrs McGowan. 

The researchers went to observe a year 10 photography class, who were taking part in a 'Rembrandt lighting' photoshoot. We have taken pictures of the brilliant work the Year 10's have been doing, including experimenting with monochrome to create some really dramatic photographs of themselves and others. The Year 7 research team were really buzzing about seeing this, as they don't get to see this in lower school, and a lot of them were declaring that they would be taking this as on option moving forwards!

 

Class no. 2: Science, Mr Lamara. 

The research team dropped in to see homeostasis being learnt by a year 10 class. After interviewing several students, they were able to see some high level knowledge on display about the key elements of the human body's control system. We took a couple of photos of students' work.

 

Class no. 3: History, Mrs Kelly, Mr Lynch. 

The researchers split into 3 groups for the final part of their research task. One group observed the rise of the Nazi propaganda machine in Mrs Kelly's class, and the students there were able to expertly teach the research team about the varying methods of propaganda and censorship employed by the Nazis when they were in power.
