Over the last 2 years Knox Academy has recognised achievement in school based extra-curricular and non-school based wider achievements through the award of Achievement Ties.  There are two categories of achievement where 'half colour' ties and 'full colour' ties are awarded.  There may also be Endeavour Certificates awarded for those not quite achieving half or full colour awards. 

We are looking for volunteers to represent S1 and S2 pupils and become committee members.  Committee members will make decisions on who or what qualifies for an award.  This is a great opportunity and is something you can add to your experiences which will be useful in applying for other positions or jobs in the future.  Taking part will demonstrate communication skills as you will share your opinions with others; it will also demonstrate you go above and beyond by contributing to the wider school community.

If you are willing to participate please come and see Mr Clark in Room M8 at morning break on Monday 14 March 2022.  If you are unable to attend then please email: aclark1@edubuzz.org or drop in at lunchtime.

Just a reminder that one of our local businesses, Thomas Sherriff, will be in school Period 1 on Friday, to talk about their business and modern apprenticeships. Two former Knox pupils, who work at Thomas Sherriff, will be also be present. If you are interested, please go to the Assembly Hall at the start of Period 1.

The Senior Football team will be playing against Dunbar Grammar School at the 3G on Thursday 10 March 2022, KO 3.45 pm. If you are free, come along and support the team.

Over the last 2 years Knox Academy has recognised achievement in school based extra-curricular and non-school based wider achievements through the award of Achievement Ties.  Under normal circumstances the Achievement Ties committee meets twice yearly to discuss nominations and allocation of Achievement Ties. Due to Covid this is the first and only chance for this academic year to nominate someone.  The reason for this was that we felt opportunities to be eligible for these Awards had been reduced. It is the intention that these awards are issued later in the session toward the end of May.  There are two categories of achievement where 'half colour' ties and 'full colour' ties are awarded.

Nominations can be completed through an updated form.

For information please see the attached Presentation. A presentation to pupils is planned on this in the next few weeks. 

The deadline for nominations this session will be Friday 6 May 2022.

There will be a meeting on Tuesday 8 March 2022, at lunch time in the small gym at 1.30pm, for those taking part in the half marathon . This is to confirm numbers, and give you details about the fundraising expectations. If you have not signed up yet, and are keen to get involved please come along too!

The Knox Academy Uniform Bank is currently looking for additional donations. If anyone in the Knox community has uniform items that they're not using anymore, we'll happily accept them at the school office or current students can bring the donations to Miss Laudi. More specifically, we are in need of black skirts and black trousers (all sizes will be accepted). Please be advised that we do not accept hoodies as these are not part of the school uniform.
