Dear Parents/Carers
RE: WELCOME TO YEAR 9
We hope you have had a restful and safe summer. We look forward to welcoming students into the new academic year 2022/23. I thought I would take this opportunity to formally introduce myself as the Head of Year 9. I look forward to working closely with you this year and have already met some of you last academic year.
I would like to inform you of some of the opportunities this year:
Students will be nominated to be Antibullying Ambassadors (ABA) and Form Reps. This is an excellent opportunity for your child to gain vital skills and experience that will help develop their character. Reward trips will take place for outstanding contributions to the Academy, as well as acknowledging the student of the week. Achievement points will continue to be given to students that demonstrate our Academy values as well as faculty trips throughout the year.
These are some of the key dates this year:
Our Open Evening is on 20th September 5pm until 8pm. Open mornings are 10-12 on the following dates – 3/10, 5/10, 11/10 & 12/10 if you would like to attend please book with main reception. As part of the Trust annual feedback please could you complete the Parent Stakeholder survey following the link below:
Please be reminded of the uniform standards this year, which can be found on the website. Can you please ensure you support the Academy in ensuring your child is incorrect uniform daily.
The’ Head of Key Stage’ Drew Swadling and I really look forward to working with you and your child to ensure their success this academic year. If you have any issues please emailme on:
