Dear Parents and students

 

Students have earned 3033 Excellent Effort Points this week. I am proud of them and so grateful to families for their support.

Please remember, Thursday April 2nd is Parents’ online Subject Consultation Day for Years 11 & 13 with remote learning at home for all Year groups on that day. Term and Other Important Dates 2025 – 26

Teachers will post assignments for all lessons in the Google Classroom by 8.30am on Friday morning and students should follow their normal timetable for the day and submit their personal best assignments by the end of the day. We will seek nominations for commendation from teachers after the Easter holiday.

As we reach towards the end of term, students took a little time to relax in Academy Tutor Groups this morning: - Family Friday – Sudoku and Games
