What a brilliant first half term. Please read our most recent newsletter below.

On Thursday 3rd October 2024 we celebrated National Poetry Day at Co-op Academy Walkden. 

Please read below, this fortnight's edition of Being Walkden Newsletter

You may have seen or heard about one of our incredible students at Co-op Academy Walkden recently. Amelie is an up-and-coming big star in the swimming world, and you can read below how there is nothing stopping this young lady from reaching the top of her game.

We are incredibly proud of one of our Student Cadets Sophia who has been selected from 300 applicants to be a part of Exercise Oak Leaf.
The Expedition Team Leader Course provides cadets an opportunity to cultivate outdoor leadership skills and develop as a specialist with the skills and subject matter knowledge to perform the duties of an Expedition Team Leader within the Army Cadet Program. Activities include navigation, a 12-day expedition, adventure training, leadership, and instructional technique. The exercise may also include Mountain Biking and Water Sports.

Sophia is one of only 20 cadets who will spend 4 weeks in Canada
learning some key life skills and resilience. Along with Sophia and her
Family, we are so very proud of the work Sophia has put in to get to this
stage and we cannot wait to follow this journey with her.
