Dear Year 11 Students, On the morning of Thursday 20th August 2020, we will email you with: your GCSE results; and guidance about your next steps and the post-results support available from us.

We have today sent out details by email of the Tutor Group and Company allocations for our new Year 7 cohort; this is an important message as it also details your child’s start time on Wednesday 2nd September.

As we draw the academic year to an end I want to first thank, on behalf of staff and governors, all students and parents/carers for their hard-work and support during these extraordinary times. In many ways the reaction of the whole Academy community has been tremendous.

We have carefully considered the guidance issued by Sandwell Local Authority and the government to produce our plans for reopening in September, and would ask that you read this information very carefully. There is information specific to students’ first day in the Academy, followed by plans for the foreseeable future.

To help us plan for re-opening in September, and to make all the necessary adjustments to the site in order to meet the government’s expectations, we have decided to finish the on-site Year 10 subject mentoring sessions at the end of this week.

Student email access has now been restored following technical issues. However, the way in which students log on has changed slightly.

We are holding a sizing event at the Academy on Wednesday 22nd July from 9.30am to 3pm, allowing those unable to use the online store to order and pay for Sports Kit.

On Friday 10th July at 10am, the Prime Minister will be giving an address to all Year 11 and 13 leavers which will be broadcast on Facebook and YouTube.
