The government has now given the go ahead for schools in England to reopen for Year 10 and Year 12 students. All other students in Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9, will also receive some face-to-face time with their tutors to review their progress.

Returning to School Safely

The Academy has implemented a host of safety measures to ensure that both staff and students remain as safe as possible whilst at school. These include temperature testing for all people who enter the site, extensive hygiene routines and social distancing protocols. Please watch our safety video to familiarise yourself with our safety protocols.

 

Here is the Academy’s phased return timeline for the remainder of this academic year.

 

Year 10 and Year 12 Feedback and Lessons –
Week beginning Monday 22nd June until Friday 11th July

• Students will receive subject feedback and begin lessons.
• Year 10 students will be divided into two groups; Group A and Group B. Each group will have its own timetabled slot and students and parents will be informed of their group shortly.
• The Year 10 timetable is divided 50% in school and 50% at home.

• This timetable will remain in place until Friday 11th June.

     

Summer Work Packs – Week beginning 13th July

• All students will be issued with a summer work pack.
• The work will provide a booster to help students cover lost ground and give students a solid foundation on which to start the new academic year in September.
