All of our parents/carers have been sent a text message and email this morning to notify them that the Academy will be closed on Friday 10th March. 

Students can access their learning from home through Google Classroom and additional online learning resources can be found on our Online Student Services page

Closing the Academy is always a last resort, so we can only apologise when the notification to close comes so late. We will always endeavour to open the Academy where possible. However, the ongoing weather conditions make it difficult to maintain the safety of students on the Academy site and impacts our staffing numbers as to provide appropriate supervision.

Take care and stay safe!

Closing the Academy is always a last resort, so we can only apologise when the notification to close comes so late. We will always endeavour to open the Academy where possible.

Take care and stay safe!
