Autumn 2020 Half-Term Newsletter

Message from Principal, Mark Avoth

At the end of our first half term, I want to thank you all for your support with ensuring we are providing the safest environment we can. I am delighted to say that teachers and students have adapted really well to the new routines and it is clear that lessons are purposeful and challenging. You should all be very proud of your children as they have adapted to their return with ease. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank staff for their commitment to our new procedures - they have been fantastic. Have a great half term break.

Virtual Open Evenings

While we've had to unfortunately deviate from our traditional, personal Open Evenings this term, the virtual editions still proved to be as informative, engaging and fun as ever. This saw us create online pages for both our Academy and Sixth Form events, which included presentations, student interviews and even an online treasure hunt. We also maintained some live element, with a Subject Fayre being staged just for our Year 11 students, giving them a glimpse into life at Sixth Form. You can view the Academy page here and Sixth Form page here.

Remember to get your applications in before Friday 11 December, if you are interested in joining our Sixth Form next year.

Parent/Teacher Consultation (PTC) Evenings

Just like our virtual Open Events this term, we have also had to stage our PTC Evenings via Microsoft Teams. We held our first PTC for our Year 7 students on Wednesday 7 October, before our Year 11 PTC took place on Wednesday 21 October. The Year 11 PTC also included a Subject Information Event, giving parents/carers an idea of what their child can study at A-Level, if they decide to stay on at our Sixth Form.

Here's a list of our PTC Evenings for the rest of the Autumn term in full:

Y12 & 13: Wednesday, 4 November
Y10: Wednesday 18 November
Y9: Wednesday, 2 December

Ten-Year Anniversary

We are delighted to celebrate our tenth anniversary this year. Founded in 2010, we also celebrate ten years in partnership with our sponsor, Canford School, who have aided the Academy's development in providing time, expertise and support.

Not only do we celebrate a successful ten years, we also pay recognition to our remarkable staff. Some of which, have also hit the ten-year milestone in service to The Academy.
