At The JCB Academy, we believe education is about more than classroom learning, it’s about creating experiences that inspire and prepare learners for the future. Throughout the year, our learners take part in a wide range of exciting opportunities, from employer challenges and engagement activities to visits from external providers, extra-curricular clubs, sports competitions, celebration evenings, and special invitation events.
To keep our community connected and informed, we regularly share updates, event highlights, and achievements. Explore the latest news and upcoming events below, follow us on social media via the links in our header, and check out our newsletters for a deeper look at life at The JCB Academy.
⚙️ Engineering, Innovation and Motorsport in Action! ⚙️🚗
Recently, a group of learners from The JCB Academy attended the Prescott Engineering & Innovation Festival at Prescott Speed Hill Climb, enjoying a fantastic day exploring the exciting worlds of engineering, technology and motorsport.
The festival brought together engineers, manufacturers, educators and students to celebrate innovation, alongside thrilling hill climb racing featuring more than 150 vehicles each day. Our learners had the opportunity to see first-hand the creativity, expertise and cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future of engineering, both on and off the track.
We were also delighted to work alongside the Bugatti Trust Museum, who kindly provided space on their lawn for us to showcase our Greenpower car and STEM Racing projects, giving visitors an insight into the innovative work taking place at the Academy.
The event proved to be an inspiring and memorable experience for everyone involved, and we're pleased to hear that this exciting new festival is set to become an annual fixture.

💛 We're saying Hello Yellow at The JCB Academy! 💛
Today, our learners have been taking part in open discussions about mental health, sharing ideas and suggestions on how we can continue to support wellbeing across the Academy.
At lunchtime, staff were available for learners to chat with, ask questions, take part in fun activities and simply spend time together, all in support of Hello Yellow Day. 💛
Because looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health. Let's keep talking, listening and supporting one another. 💛

🏁 Karting Success for Ashton at Hooton Park! 🏁
A huge congratulations to Y10 learner, Ashton on an excellent performance at Round 8 of the Indi Junior Rotax Kart Championship at Hooton Park Circuit earlier this Summer.
After a full day of practice, Ashton headed into qualifying and secured an impressive P2, earning himself a front row start for race day. Competing against a field of highly talented and experienced drivers, he took part in two exciting heats where positions changed throughout the grid and every place had to be fought for.
In a highly competitive final, Ashton demonstrated great skill, determination and race craft to finish in an outstanding 4th place, earning himself a well-deserved trophy. 🏆
Having raced regularly at Hooton Park over the last year, Ashton has worked incredibly hard to learn the circuit and develop his racing skills, and it's fantastic to see that dedication paying off.
Well done, Ashton. We look forward to following your continued success on the track! 👏 🏎️
