Our Arc School Napton provides primary children with the stepping-stones and opportunities they need to be prepared for learning in the future.
The school works successfully with children and young people who may have been reluctant learners, those who may have been out of school for a time or those have found it hard to engage in education. Staff support children to have a positive schooling experience and gain the self-confidence to continue in their learning.
They work collaboratively on ensuring the children move onto the next best schooling opportunity when they leave Arc School Napton.
And when it is time for those children to move on to the next part of their journey, the school certainly knows how to celebrate their achievements. Graduation day remains a focal point of the Arc School Napton calendar, and for the class of 2022, it was a day thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
On a glorious summer day, the graduation celebrations started with a welcomed visit from the ice cream van and all of the pupils, staff and parents indulged as a special treat.
They then sat down for a graduation ceremony where certificates were handed out. The children graduating were also given a personalised gift bag which contained a Napton hoody, a key ring, a photo album with photos from their time at Arc School Napton, a graduate trophy, a stationary set and a graduate teddy bear.
They heard individual speeches from each graduate about how they felt about the school, how they thought their time had gone and how they felt about graduating. As you can imagine, this was very emotional for everyone and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room!
They then finally had the opportunity for photos with their parents and a special graduation group photo allowing them to all throw their caps in the air with pride. It was a heart-warming and happy goodbye.
Good luck class of 2022.
