Parent and Carer Letter – Ramadan and Exams
Some of our students will shortly be following the religious observance of Ramadan, which this year falls at the same time as the GCSE and A Level examination season. Students who are fasting may experience a range of possible benefits such as feeling closer to God, learning to exercise self-control, and strengthening community and family ties. However, we recognise that fasting often also results in tiredness, low energy, dehydration, reduced focus, memory and concentration issues, which may impact adversely on students during their exams.
Parent and Carer Letter – Behaviour Consultation
We are rightly proud of our reputation for good conduct and behaviour, a view supported by Ofsted and the parent and carer feedback on ParentView. However, not all children will get it right every time, and when students do get it wrong we aim to work with all parties to put things right. No matter how good something is we should always look to make it even better; with that in mind we would like your views on some changes we are considering.
Parent/Carer Letter – April 2019
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.
Parent/Carer Letter – Knife Arch
Today we are pleased to welcome the West Midlands Police who are educating students about the dangers of knife crime. On Friday 11th January, all secondary schools and academies in Sandwell gave advance notice that they would be working with the Police to tackle the worrying recent trend in carrying knives.

Parent and Carer Letter – July 2018
