KS3 Students who have missed their flu immunisations have the opportunity to catch up on this through the following weekend clinics. Please contact the respective clinic directly with any questions and/or to make an appointment.

I am pleased to inform you of the result of our recent election for Parent Governors. Elected: Ms Marcia Copeland and Mrs Sally Hall We would like to thank those who put their names forward, and we are sorry that there were insufficient places for all those interested at this time.

Sandwell Local Authority, the Attendance Support Service, and Public Health are keen to identify ways in which they can support with improving the attendance of all young people to educational settings across Sandwell. Parents/carers can access the survey to share their views here.

A reminder that we are taking part in the Sandwell Wellbeing Charter Mark audit process to ensure that we are best supporting our students. We want to collect the views of our parents/carers on key areas that have an impact on you and your child’s wellbeing. Your views can help support your child’s mental health and wellbeing and empower you in being an active part of our Academy community! If you’d be happy to engage with the Academy by sharing your views and attending a focus group, then please contact Ms Kudryl here by Friday 13th January 2023.

As we end the term I would like to thank our students and staff for their fantastic commitment, teamwork, and energy. I wish to thank the parents, carers, and members of the community for the outstanding support provided to the Academy.
