We have been really proud to see students rising to our expectations of Ready, Respectful, and Responsible conduct. Well over half of our students have been immaculately behaved and not received a single reparation, and staff have already written almost 300 Praise Postcards to recognise outstanding work and effort that’s happening all over the Academy (these will shortly be printed and given out to students).
Please be aware the early May bank holiday in 2020 will move from Monday 4th May to Friday 8th May to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
From Monday 17th June, we are introducing some changes to the way we follow up students’ behaviour at Q3 Academy Great Barr – using a balance of both sanctions and rewards. This will ensure that our high standards of ready, respectful, and responsible conduct are consistently maintained, and all students benefit from the best possible environment for learning. The feedback from consultations with parents/carers and staff has been overwhelmingly positive, and we have adapted our decision making in response to your views.
Following a review of our current provision and support provided to Year 13, we are pleased to inform you of changes to the structure of the timetable.
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.
