Each year we put a system in place to ensure that all lockers are cleared out before the end of the academic year.
To ensure this is completed as smoothly as possible, all students in Year 11 will need to clear their lockers before Friday 28th June 2019. Any items remaining after this date will be recycled, given to charity or disposed of.
Here at Q3 Academy Great Barr we believe that the emotional wellbeing of our students is as important as their physical health and want to support our students to become well-rounded adults with good health and resilience. To do this we recognise that the stigma around mental health needs to be broken down, changing attitudes to mental health could change somebody’s life.
The Albion Foundation will be hosting a wide range of activities at Q3 Academy Great Barr during the May Half Term Holiday.
Activities include everything from sports, dance and music to films, team building and beauty and will be delivered by fully DBS certified and First Aid trained Albion Foundation staff, from 9.45am until 3pm. Activities are free for young people aged 10-17 and are very popular, so to avoid disappointment please register to secure a place using the links below.
I am writing to advise you and your child of the exam policies, key dates, and times to collect examination results, staff availability and the procedure to follow should you wish to make enquires after the release of examination results.
Dear Parents/Carers,
The exam season is now underway, and we’ve been really pleased by students’ hard work both in the Academy and at home. I attach an overview schedule showing all exams and revision sessions in the coming weeks. Your child also has a copy of this to help them stay organised and plan ahead. For further clarity, Mr Slack will be printing individual student timetables every week.
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.
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.
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.
