This week at Co-op Academy Hillside

 

Year 4’s Stunning Still Life Paintings Inspired by Paul Cézanne!

   We don’t mean to brag, but just look at the fabulous artwork from Year 4! 🎨🖌️ They’ve been studying the brilliant work of French impressionist Paul Cézanne and created some incredible still life paintings this afternoon. Mrs. Culshaw is certain you'll agree – we have some truly talented young artists in the making!

  

✨🖋️ Spotlight Pupil 🖋️


This remarkable young lady has truly amazed us with her incredible writing, inspired by Sherlock Holmes. We’re so proud of the effort you put into everything you do and the fantastic progress you're making!

 

Year 4 Students Shine at Dodgeball Event with Teamwork and Fun!

 

Today, some Year 4 students from Hillside, Co-op Academy Portland, and Co-op Academy Woodslee took part in an exciting dodgeball event at Co-op Academy Bebington. They demonstrated excellent teamwork, supported one another, and most importantly, had a blast! Just look at all those well-earned medals!

 

 

Year 6 Gets Creative at Epic Graffiti Workshop!

As far as school trips go, this one was truly epic! Year 6 had a blast (and got a little messy) at their graffiti workshop. They explored various spray painting techniques, creating some stunning artwork along the way. What an amazing experience! ❤️

REWARDS

Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Hillside, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.
