Vision

We welcome the students back to the academy to embark on their journey in Year 8. We want the students to return enthusiastic about continuing their learning and look forward to the wonderful enrichment opportunities they will have this year.

We succeeded with attendance last academic year winning every week for the whole year. Let’s keep the title this year!

Contacting the Team

If you have any questions or concerns about your child, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the Year 8 team by leaving a message with Reception or by emailing our enquiry address with, for example, ‘FAO Miss Oliver’ as the subject.

We aim to respond to phone calls and emails as quickly as possible, and certainly within 48 hours. Please bear in mind that members of staff may have a day of teaching and may not be able to respond to non-urgent matters until the end of the Academy day or the following Academy day.
