Our Year 2s from Holden Lane Academy and Sneyd Academy had an absolute blast at their Alpha Day. They got to try their hand at a whole host of brilliant sports, including:

⚽ Football skills – showing off some amazing footwork
🏏 Cricket – hitting it out of the park
💪 Tug of war – putting their ultimate strength to the test
🏀 Basketball – sinking some fantastic baskets
...and so much more!

The children showed incredible teamwork, resilience, self-confidence, and positivity from start to finish. We are so proud of how well everyone worked together and represented their academies. High fives all round! 🙌

🌟 A massive thank you to ASM Sports for running such an incredible, high-energy day for our pupils! 🌟

🤝 Bridging Education & Industry: Launching the myFUTURE Gateways 🚀

What an incredible morning for collaborative education! We were thrilled to welcome over 25+ local employers to our myFUTURE Business Breakfast event. This marks a major milestone as Alpha Academies Trust, Three Spires Trust, Potteries Educational Trust, and CEO Futures Forum partner to officially launch our 6 Employment Gateways—a joint roadmap for students to discover careers and build work-ready skills across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire.

Our shared myFUTURE strategy is all about bridging the gap between education and industry, allowing local business leaders to help align student learning with modern, real-world workforce needs.

The highlight was watching students from across our trusts confidently network and engage directly with employers. As they choose their Gateways, these young people asked insightful questions and took proactive steps toward planning their future careers.

When multi-academy trusts and regional employers collaborate, we inspire the next generation. Together, our three trusts look forward to working closely with these businesses to build lasting partnerships and co-create the workforce of tomorrow.

Your Choice. Your Gateway. myFUTURE.
