Year 13 Students – Thursday 13th August 2020

As per our calendar and key dates shared earlier in the academic year, we will be closed to all students on Friday 3rd July, for staff training.

As announced in Dr Badyal’s earlier update, we have been working hard to plan a safe way of enabling face-to-face meetings with all of our Key Stage 3 students before the summer break for those who wish to attend. The eLearning Hub will continue to be populated with work, and students will continue to work from home. However, this meeting will allow your child to catch up with their Personal Tutor who will be able to provide reassurance around the work they are completing, and support with any concerns they might have.

In order to help reduce queuing and to support with social distancing, Uniforms Plus are offering a limited number of appointments through a booking service. If you wish to make an appointment, please contact them on: 0121 357 8285. 

This week we were delighted to begin welcoming back our Year 10 and 12 students after almost three months of distance learning. Thank you for your support in ensuring their safe return, it has been a pleasure to hear so many positive comments from you and your children about getting back to some form of normality. Although we have to keep the time your child spends in the Academy to a minimum, it will support them to get back into a routine as they prepare for the start of the new academic year.

I hope that you and your family are well during these difficult times. Before the pandemic we had planned to announce a small change to the Academy day, but in the first few weeks of the crisis I did not want this important message to get lost in the initial rush as we all learnt to change our lives in the early stages of the lockdown.

Thank you for the messages of support that many of you have been sending in to our academies, this is appreciated by all of our staff. There has been an enormous amount of media attention on the re-opening of educational settings, and we would like to update you on the next steps for Q3 Academies Trust.
