University Academy Holbeach celebrated World Plumbing Day with activities run by the Plumbing Department, including taster sessions for Year 8 pupils and female Sixth Form students to encourage engagement in the trade. WPD Activities 2026 – World Plumbing Council
We are pleased to run another UAH ski trip to Formigal, in the Spanish Pyrenees during the February half term 2027. The recent
trip to Mont Sainte Anne and Stoneham, Canada was amazing, with the pupils in attendance making excellent progress and
experiencing a different culture and scenery.
The trip is being offered to students in current Years 7 to 10. Skiing is a physically demanding sport and we would ask students,
parents and carers to consider this carefully before signing up as pupils will be participating in lessons for 5 hours per day and
possibly walking around slopes with their equipment each day. Please consider this carefully prior to showing an interest in a
place on the trip.

🪵 No Nails? No Problem! 🐦
Our Level 1 Joinery students just took part in our annual Bird Box Competition! 🛠️
This wasn’t your average DIY project. To test their skills, the students had to ditch the screws and nails, relying solely on traditional joinery techniques and precision workshop machinery.
The Challenge:
-
Zero Fixings: Pure woodworking—no nails allowed! 🚫🔩
-
Easy Access: Must be able to be opened and cleaned for next season. 🧼
-
Mounting Magic: A creative way to secure it to a tree or wall.
The results? Absolutely stunning. While every student produced a piece of art, Jack took home the top prize for his incredible precision and sleek aesthetic! 🏆
Why we love this project:
-
Upskilling: Blending craftsmanship with modern machinery.
-
Sustainability: Supporting our local feathered friends. 🐥
-
Mother’s Day Sorted: Most of these masterpieces headed home to become the ultimate handmade gifts! 💐
Massive well done to the entire Level 1 learners. You’ve truly “built” something to be proud of!
Plumbing apprentice Callum Plested has been awarded the prestigious Worshipful Company of Plumbers Tool Bursary, receiving £1,000 worth of Monument professional plumbing tools in recognition of his commitment, professionalism, and strong progression within his plumbing studies. The bursary supports Callum in further developing his practical skills as he continues his training, and reflects both his dedication to the trade and the high standards he consistently demonstrates in the workshop and classroom.

Yesterday, some of our pupils took part in the Lincolnshire South East School Sport Partnership event at Hollywood Bowl, Peterborough 🎳
It was fantastic to see the encouragement, resilience and smiles throughout the day. A huge thank you to the organisers and staff who made the event such a success, and well done to every pupil who represented UAH so brilliantly.
