As temperatures drop, frozen lakes, ponds, and rivers may look inviting—but they are extremely dangerous. Ice can break without warning, and falling into freezing water can be life-threatening.
Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service has reported several recent incidents involving people, especially young people, venturing onto frozen water. We’re urging all students, parents, and carers to help keep everyone safe this winter.
This January, we’re kicking off the new year with super savings and even bigger flavours!
Whether you’re after street-food favourites or comforting classics like roast dinners and curries, you can enjoy bold, hearty meals your way — healthier, tastier, and better value than the high street.
Start the year right and make your January lunches deliciously affordable!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Christmas Card Competition!
We are delighted to share that the competition is now closed, and we have received some truly amazing and creative entries.
Your creativity and festive spirit have made this competition a success.
Guilsborough Academy is supporting Daventry Food Bank again this year by donating Christmas Food Hampers. We are asking all students across the academy to work together as a tutor group to decorate a hamper and donate food items that are then given to citizens within the Daventry District. These will be judged by Mr Frazer, Principal once they are all received.
If you would like to support the cause, please provide your child with items listed on the "We need list" on the website www.daventryfoodbank.org.uk which they can then contribute to their tutor group’s hamper. In order to allow sufficient delivery time, donations must reach your child’s form tutor by Monday 8 December.
More information on the Daventry Food Bank can be found on the website www.daventryfoodbank.org.uk. Please do not hesitate to contact me via the email address info@guilsborough.northants.sch.uk should you wish to discuss this further.
