We were delighted to welcome back Year 11 students to the Academy today, and look forward to the return of all other Year Groups tomorrow. Please ensure that all students, unless exempt, remember to bring and wear a face mask. In line with current government guidance, face masks must be worn at all times in the Academy including in classrooms.

It is important that all students know how to switch to online learning in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak. Any students experiencing difficulty with their Academy Google account, or who would like support in how best to use Google Classroom, are encouraged to speak to their Personal Tutor for guidance when they return. We will seek to prioritise examination groups in the event of a partial Academy closure.

We’d also like to politely remind students to conduct regular lateral flow tests to help keep the Academy community safe. It’s recommended that tests are taken on Sunday and Wednesday evenings.

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. We are proud to serve and support our community.(Read more…)

Face Coverings

The immediate impact of these measures on our students is the reintroduction of face coverings; students should now wear face coverings in communal areas of the Academy, unless they are exempt. Students do not need to wear these when seated in lessons, but are welcome to do so if they wish.(Read more…)
