Sumdog Success

Pupils in one of our S2 classes at Airdrie Academy joined in with 4901 other classes, all over Scotland, to compete in a sumdog competition to celebrate Maths Week. The pupils each had to answer 1000 question correctly, whilst playing interactive games. The winning class was determined by a class average.

We came an amazing 2nd out of 4901 class, with pupil Ryan Eckersley personally coming 10th out of 55,186 pupils taking part. All the pupils thoroughly enjoyed it and are asking when they can do it again.

Congratulations to all of you!

Celebrating Success Assemblies 2017

On Wednesday 21st June celebrating success assemblies were held at Airdrie Academy.  These provide an opportunity to recognize the wider achievements of our pupils.  Between this group of assemblies and our S5/6 assembly before study leave, 860 awards were presented.  Pupils are engaged in a vast array of activities ranging from school clubs and House events to charity and voluntary work.  We are very proud of our pupils achievements and enjoyed celebrating their successes in this series of assemblies.
