Showcasing Talent and Celebrating Success at Salford City Academy
Recently we have launched ‘Feel Good Fridays’ at Salford City Academy [SCA], this is designed to reward our students for working hard throughout the week and leave both students and staff feeling positive going into the weekend.
Musical Performances
Each Friday in the dining hall, students volunteer to perform to their peers. Some students choose to perform as a group, with some playing instruments and some singing. While other students bravely choose a solo performance, to demonstrate their talents to their peers. The response to these performances has been brilliant, with students in the dining hall erupting into applause and cheer for their peers. For the student performers, it is a chance to showcase their talents and develop their confidence by performing to a large group!
Our brilliant music team and technician set up each Friday in the hall with speakers and microphones, so these performances have a truly professional feel. Whether it's a solo performance, a duet, or a band, the live music creates a vibrant atmosphere that everyone looks forward to.
Proud Table
Every Friday lunchtime students at SCA are encouraged to bring a piece of work that they have been proud of that week to the Proud Table. Each week we see a brilliant variety of student work, ranging from impressive artwork to difficult Maths questions.
At the Proud Table students are met by the four house leaders, each student brings their work to their house leader and gets rewarded with treats and stickers, while gaining points for their house!
Each week the queue for the Proud Table goes round the corner, with so many students lining up to celebrate their hard work.
Football
The astro is open too students first thing in the morning, before school starts, for friendly football matches. Students gather to practice their skills and enjoy the fresh morning air, a perfect way to kickstart the day!
