  • Parent Digest, Half Term Five

    Published 24/05/24

    It is with great pride that I am able to share the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection. It has just been published and is the loveliest of ways with which to end this half-term. It is linked here and really is worth reading. It highlights so many aspects of our school, such as how good our curriculum, wider development and culture are. I hope you feel the same sense of pride I did when I read it. 

    It's always important for parents and carers to be reassured that Ofsted found our safeguarding to be effective. However - this is just their standard sentence. Inspectors also told us we have a 'strong safeguarding culture' and that pupils feel safe and trust us.
    Highlights from the report are:

    Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a broad and ambitious curriculum

    Pupils are very clear about how the school expects them to behave. They are respectful  towards staff. In lessons, pupils are attentive and behave well.

    Pupils behave well and there is a calm atmosphere in the school

    Pupils are happy. They are committed to the school and to serving the community.

    The school has designed an ambitious and well-defined curriculum

    Reading is top priority in this school

    It's just a really proud moment, and we are so pleased and proud of our pupils and staff and wanted to share with you as our biggest supporters - day in, day out, we work together so it is a real privilege to share this great news with you all - we hope you have a lovely break, and we look forward to a very happy and successful final half-term from Monday 3rd June.
     

    We're changing the way we communicate with you!

  • Year 11 Revision Sessions May 2024

    Published 21/05/24

    As we move towards the final exams, the next couple of weeks will play a vital part in pupils' preparation for their GCSE Exams.  As part of our ongoing commitment to our pupils' success, academy staff have voluntarily scheduled revision sessions over the half-term break.

    It is important that pupils attend all revision sessions that are relevant to them. Timetables have been shared with pupils, but a copy of the scheduled sessions can be found below. 

    Pupils are not required to wear their school uniform. However, they must wear clothes that are appropriate for school.  Mobile phones will also not be allowed during the revision sessions.  Light refreshments will also be provided for pupils. 

    Please remind pupils that not all areas of the school are accessible due to scheduled maintenance work. 

    Frequently asked questions

    What time should pupils arrive?

    Pupils should arrive 10 minutes before the revision session is due to start, and will need to stay for the full session. Pupils will not be allowed to leave early.

    Where should pupils go when they arrive at school?

    Pupils must enter the building via the main reception at the front of the academy (Victoria Avenue East). A member of staff will be there to meet pupils. All pupils must sign in when they arrive and wait to be collected by their subject teacher.

    What if pupils arrive late?

    We strongly advise that pupils arrive on time to avoid missing any of the sessions.  However, should pupils arrive late, they will need to wait in reception for a member of staff to escort them to their revision session.
