Hear from our Students

Victoria enjoys coming to St Lawrence as it is a place full of many opportunities.  For example, this year the academy has offered many trips to go on, ie: The Baths Hall, Universities and more.  Victoria has been lucky to meet new people like friends and the amazing staff members, who have taught me so much the past three years.  Victoria also enjoys how diverse the community is and that many students are open minded to learning about different cultures.  Overall, there are many things that could be talked about, but these are just a few things that stood out this year.

During your time at The St Lawrence Academy,  you'll learn so much - both academically and personally. This academy is definitely a warm community to call your second home where success is guaranteed through every lesson, term and year. Lots of opportunities appear and so many students are encouraged to grab these not only for their CV, but for their social skills and to build more relationships with peers; often, many organisations come in to talk about what students could do to help a cause or receive awards. There are lots of extracurricular activities also available and so much support is given out from all the lovely staff who build amazing relationships with us all'

Rubie-leigh Sowerby is a student at The St Lawrence Academy and is just starting Year 9. Rubie-leigh enjoys all lessons and the learning is fun especially History with Mr Fox he makes things really interesting.

Rubie-Leigh enjoys spending time with her friends and sharing lessons with some of them..  Year 9 will choose their options this year and have a variety of lessons to choose from.  Rubie-Leigh is currently thinking of choosing business as it’s something she is very interested in and it is something that she would like to learn more about but she will also need to take into consideration all of the other possible options.

The St Lawrence academy is a wonderful place having all the lessons in a brilliant curriculum that you need for your career.  It also has a wide range of extra curricular clubs that fit your interests. Cheerok really enjoys improving skills and knowledge at after school clubs. The academy also participates in many sporting tournaments such as Rugby, Football, Athletics, Rounders, Netball, Badminton and many more. Sports day is a huge competition at The St Lawrence Academy that encourages everybody to participate and the celebrations afterwards are incredible. It is special being a member of The St Lawrence team.

Abiha is starting in year 10 and her time so far at the academy has been really enjoyable. All the teachers Abiha has met are all incredible and super approachable. The academy gives a range of extra-curricular clubs for free and her favourite sport is netball. Abiha also likes that the academy has reward trips for student’s behaviour so that hard work and actions don't go unnoticed. The St Lawrence Academy is great and Abiha is happy to be a student here.

For the past year in the academy, the experience Ruby has had here was absolutely wonderful. The learning is fun and friendly since all the staff are so kind to her. As a collective worship leader, it was fun to talk to her peers about faith in our daily reflection time and what the week has to bring. Ruby hopes the academy continues to be as amazing as it is now!

As Joel gradually got through year 10, he has enjoyed every minute of the opportunities presented to him .Joel has participated in sporting events at Quibell Park and even had a trip to the Hull City football ground. Joel enjoys the lessons and engages well at all times. The lessons are varied and teach students to work as groups and independently which is an important soft skill. Joel really enjoys my academy life at The St Lawrence Academy.
