Weavers Launches New Student-Run Magazine: Weavers Within

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Weavers Within, Weavers Academy’s brand-new student-run school magazine. Created by students, for the whole community, this exciting publication celebrates student voice, showcases achievements, and shares key developments from across our vibrant school.
From leadership insights to personal reflections, department spotlights to trip reviews, Weavers Within offers a dynamic and authentic window into life at Weavers Academy. Whether you’re interested in teaching and learning, the arts, science and technology, or just want a snapshot of school life, there’s something here for everyone.
The magazine opens with a Leadership Focus from Mr Hunt (p.3), followed by in-depth Department Focus features on PE (p.4), Art (p.12) and Music (p.24) — the latter including trip reviews of Opera North and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra written by students.
Student voices shine throughout the issue with stand-out contributions including:
