There are loads of services and activities open to young people across Sandwell this summer. Here’s a round-up of some of the great things available.(Read more…)

Thank you to all of our students and staff who are continuing to self-test for COVID-19 and report their results to us regularly, this is a huge step in helping to minimise risk and keep everyone safe as we work to return to a more normal Academy life. Parents/carers of students who have previously not consented to testing, but who may now wish to take part, can collect self-testing kits from locations across Sandwell or book in for asymptomatic testing at a local test site. Full details can be found here.

As we approach the end of the academic year, it is important that the Academy communicates its position on international travel; this has a direct relevance to how families spend the summer break, for example. It is vital that the progress and attendance of children is at the centre, hand-in-hand with providing opportunities and safeguarding mental health. (Read more…)

We have been advised of a number of positive Year 10 COVID-19 cases this week. As safety is paramount, we have made the unfortunate decision to close the Academy to students in Year 10 from Thursday 1st July, and we are asking all students to self-isolate as a precautionary measure. This decision has been made with the support of the Local Authority.

All Year 10 students must remain out of the Academy until their return date of Monday 12th July. The Year 10 end-of-term assessment schedule will be the same as originally shared, delayed by one week, and we encourage all students to continue working hard and revising for these tests. This term’s virtual work experience programme will also be rescheduled for a future time if possible.(Read more…)
