Yesterday was incredibly sad as former student Courtney Jennings was laid to rest. As part of our annual rewards evening we will dedicate an award in Coutney's name and ensure her spirit lives on. She will forever be EDA.
Rest in Peace Private Courtney Jennings.
Love EDA x
Awesome performance from these amazing young ladies on the U16 County Cup. Looking forward to the next round #weareEDA #ProudtobeEDA
A fantastic result today from our U16 ladies football team, winning 9-0 in the County Cup. Conditions were definitely against us, but the ladies can go forward with their heads held high after a fantastic team performance! ❄️⚽️

Erasmus the Elf understands the importance of reading. He is lucky that we have Mrs Dickinson and Mrs Norbury who are our reading champions #weareEDA #proudtobeEDA #EDAreads
Erasmus the Elf seems to be enjoying his weekend in the library eating cake and reading. However, Mrs Norbury and Mrs Dickinson are not sure who has given the elf such a lovely treat. If anyone has any clues as to who might be spending time with Erasmus, please let us know 🕵🏼♀️🤔
Huge thanks to all for featuring our fantastic students in this national article. We aspire for all of our students to step out of the comfort zone and into the stretch zone because that's where character and courage are created #weareEDA #ProudtobeEDA
Out of the comfort zone, in the stretch zone, and stopping before the panic zone...
Thanks @dmcstimes for telling the story of @EDarwinAcademy's week @AberdoveyCentre for #TimesChristmasAppeal.

Our very own Olympian from London 2012, Mr Austin, providing more opportunities for our scholars to enrich their lives. Friday lunchtime…be there!!! 🥋
Not many students can say they attend a Judo club during school time, even fewer can say they are trained by an Olympian! Don’t forget, every Friday lunchtime is Judo club for Years 7-9 with Mr Austin! 🥋

I am very proud to share that EDA features in The Times newspaper. The article is focussed on our Yr 9 Challenge Week. The article features a write up, video & pictures. Sit back & enjoy our students doing themselves, their families & the school PROUD
Escape from screens is an Outward Bound away
You have your comfort zone and beyond that comes the stretch zone. And if you are veering towards the panic zone then, well, it’s probably time ...

This show is going to knock your socks off #weareEDA
Year 12 students enjoyed their industry morning while getting their professional headshots taken today. Miss Wilkinson also thought she’d try her hand at developing some photography skills 🎥. #preparationforthefuture
Having evaluated the site this morning we have made the decision that the approach to school and the site is currently unsafe. Therefore we are closed to students today for health and safety reasons. We will communicate the arrangements for work shortly. Thank you.
Our EDA teachers light fires that never go out. They put our students on a pathway to success. If you demonstrate courage, determination, respect and just work hard, the success will follow. We are not ordinary, we are extraordinary #weareEDA
@EDarwinAcademy Aw thank you, you’ve made my day!☺️I wouldn’t be where I am without EDA. A big thank you to Mrs Dodge too, who started my love for psychology!😊

Congratulations to former EDA student @DanksMeredith on her graduation and first class degree in Psychology. A great role model to our students and proof that determination, courage and hard work always result in a positive outcome #weareEDA
At EDA we embrace challenge because we know it makes us better. Miss Wilkinson, Mr Foster & our Sixth Form students smashed it out of the park when dealing with this challenge. Our challenge as a school is to help students deal with unknown challenges ....that's life #weareEDA
What do you do when you’re 30mins from London and the theatre email you to cancel the performance you’re on your way to see? Well you take your students to the #NaturalHistoryMuseum, to the #RoyalAlbertHall, to #Harrods and book a last minute performance to #ComeFromAway.
Wonderful to celebrate our scholars who have achieved a Silver Medal award this week at our weekly Fast Track Friday event! Displaying our values on a daily basis, and making a positive difference to our Academy community! #EDAallday
Great to see former EDA scholar Ryan giving back to the Local community. It's like we say, being EDA isn't just 6 hours per day during term time, it's being EDA for life #EDAvalues Top work Ryan, Good luck and keep up the good work #weareEDA
