A huge thank you to those that came along to support the Maldon Half Marathon on Sunday. It was lovely to see lots of familiar faces cheering runners on in the crowds. The Plume PE team finished the race in very respectable times and can be seen in the photo – just about still smiling. Huge congratulations to Emily Ambrose (Deputy Head Girl - Year 13) who also took part and successfully finished the gruelling, hilly course. Thanks must also go to the team of volunteers from College who helped to marshall, give out drinks and support the organisers and runners (Yasmine Rassasse, Laila Rassasse, Yazmin Zubair, Alex Woosey, Emily Beattie, Megan Luscombe, Ellie Barbrook and Fahima Begum). If you would like to donate to the David Randall Foundation it's not too late. They encourage dedicated people, restrained by financial constraints, to pursue their ambitions and to give those with life threatening illnesses the opportunity to live life to the full as long as possible.

Essex Road Safety have commissioned two road safety plays for all Year 7 and Year 9
students across the county. Plume Academy students will be attending plays on
Friday 7 October (Year 7 and a performance of 'Split Second ') and Monday
17 October (Year 9 and a performance of 'Perfect').
The nature of each play will challenge students about the need to remain safe on the
roads at all times, including personal responsibility and safety when being a passenger
in a vehicle. The performances also include the importance of relationships and how
some can be challenged under the difficult circumstances
portrayed in the plays.
If you have any concerns about any student who will be viewing the performances,
please contact the student's Head /Assistant Head of Year or Ms Mallett, Personal

On Monday 26 September Plume Academy celebrated European Day of Languages. Staff at Plume wore a badge with the flag of a country meaning something to them, greetings in the language of this country and a chosen word. The country most chosen was Italy followed by Greece, New Zealand and India. Reasons ranged from places where teachers worked, home country, honeymoon or proposal destinations, family origins, holiday memories, wife or hus-band’s nationality and dream destinations. Students also shared their chosen country in class and during Learning Group time. This lead to some fantastic exchanges between staff and students and raised knowledge, understanding and awareness of countries beyond our shores. The winner of our staff competition was M r Honeyands with Tanzania “My wife and I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in 2012 for a charity that sends gifted youngsters to university. We raised over £10,000 and sent three 18 year old Kenyans to univer-sity. The special word I chose for the day was “Uhuru” which means freedom. I chose the word as it is the name of
the peak of Kilimanjaro and also my son’s middle name – his mum was (unknowingly) pregnant with him when she climbed the mountain.” The MFL Department at Plume Academy would like to thank students and staff for taking part. A special thank you to the LAIC team for their involvement and to the catering team for offering international dishes this week. Madame Rose, KS3 Coordinator for Languages
The reason I love Greece
so much is because my
Dad’s side of the family
is Greek.
Georgia Papidas
We like Spain because it is a very
good holiday destination and the
weather is hot.We also like Spain
because of their national football
team.
Ashley Dicker and Richie Cooper
I’ve chose the
Dominican Republic
because I’ve been
there lots of times
and I have lots of
funny memories.
Punta Cana is where I
mostly go.
Tiana Abrey
Miss Young chose Algeria and Mr Saxton chose Ireland
Finley Blackledge and his
