News and Events

I write to inform you that I have taken the decision to retire from my role as Chief Executive of the Q3 Academies Trust on 31st August 2020. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 35 years in the teaching profession and will hold onto the wonderful memories. However, I am now very much looking forward to ‘slowing down’ and spending quality time with my family.

The Education Secretary has announced that some disadvantaged children are to receive laptops and tablets as part of a drive to make remote education accessible at home during the COVID-19 closure. In addition, the government will also provide 4G routers where families of disadvantaged children do not already have mobile or broadband internet in the household. The government is still working on the details of how this will be rolled out. As soon as we have further information we will contact you directly.

As per the guidance issued by the Department for Education, Q3 Academies Trust will be issuing electronic vouchers where we have a valid email address for parent/carers of children at our academies. These vouchers are provided through the EdenRed website and guidance may be found here.

Important announcement for the Parents/Carers of students in Years 11 and 13.

Thank you for your support and patience during these testing times. Following government advice, several of our staff have self-isolated and others have stayed with their families if they have been unwell.This has meant that we have had to partially close as we would be otherwise unable to safely staff all lessons.
