Following the consultation of Business Dress with students, staff, and the parents/carers who kindly fed back to us regarding Business Dress, we can confirm that from September 2025, blazers are no longer to be worn. Jumpers will replace blazers as our Business Dress along with a new style of tie and skirt option. We are currently working with our suppliers to prepare for these changes in a hope that the new items will go on sale in their stores soon. Trousers and shirts/blouses will remain unaffected by the change. (Read more…)

We all know that good attendance to the Academy is vital to a child’s academic success. Therefore, to support with our attendance monitoring we are moving to a new system called ‘A Star Attendance’.

However, you may now receive attendance updates or communication by email, so we’d ask that you ensure the email address noreply@astarattendance.com is added to your safe sender list to avoid it ending up in your junk mail folder.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be offering students in Year 11 the opportunity to register for the DfE’s new Eduation Record app. The Academy has been selected to take part in the pilot launch of this new digital service. Students will be invited to a one-to-one appointment to verify their identity with a member of staff who can then authorise their access to the service.

Full details of this new service including a step-by-step guide can be found here.
