We have been asked by the Police to politely remind parents/carers that the area to the front of the Academy is a red route, and as such no vehicles may be parked or stop there for any reason including dropping off or picking up passengers. The Police will be making regular inspections along this route and fining any vehicles who stop along the red route or who park dangerously or discourteously. 

We have been advised that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the Academy. We are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Sandwell Public Health. The Academy remains open, and providing your child remains well they can continue to attend as normal. We will keep this under review, and have already contacted any students and staff who have been in direct or close contact with the affected student; these students and staff will not be attending the Academy, and have been directed to self-isolate.

Year 11 students will today be receiving an important letter about a virtual event for your child and for you as parents/carers. This is an important year for your child, as they are preparing for challenging GCSE exams and starting to make key decisions about their future education and career.

We are delighted to be able to make some adjustments to further improve the smooth running of the Academy day following feedback from students, parents/carers, and staff. These changes do not relax any restrictions, and students will remain in their bubbles. However, we hope that these changes will allow us to manage the situation even better.

We have been advised by Public Health England that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the Academy.

We have not yet received official certificates for the Summer 2020 examination series, but will post an update on our website and social media once they are available for collection.

I would like to start by thanking you for continuing to support your children through some difficult times and although schools and academies reopened fully earlier this month there were further changes to routines for both parents/carers and children.

Your child’s Personal Tutor is your first point of contact for all enquiries, and we’d advise that you contact them by email for the quickest response.

I am delighted to be able to formally introduce myself as Chief Executive of Q3 Academies Trust. I would like to thank you for the hard work and community effort that has been taking place at each Academy prior to and since the beginning of September.

I am writing to update you with some more detail on changes to our Positive Behaviour Policy that take into account the current measures in place at the Academy to minimise the transmission of COVID-19.
