We have launched a new student-led newspaper at Knox Academy: Welcome to Knox News!
Your young person will get the opportunity to read about local/school news with articles written and researched by our very own pupils, from arts and culture to local interest stories. They will also have the opportunity to contribute to our anthology, with short stories, artwork, book reviews, and more!
For parents, we have a dedicated Teachers Update section that will keep you up to date on any upcoming events within and without the school - we aim to also open a Parent Updates section for anyone who would like to advertise local/charity events to our wonderful students.
There will be a serialised cartoon and monthly puzzle for pupils to enjoy and complete, and we are hoping soon to even have a physical paper for your young person to bring home! Admissions to the newspaper club are yearly, and if your young person would like to get involved, they will have the opportunity to do so when we come back together in August; in the meantime, any student may submit an article they have written to the Editor in Chief for the chance of it appearing in our next issue.
