Just a reminder that the Year 12 Induction Day is due to take place on Monday 3rd July. Please ask students to arrive in A Block Hall for 8.30am for a prompt start. Students are not expected to wear school uniform, but must dress appropriately for a school environment. We are holding a yoga session during Period 3 on the day, as part of our Health & Wellbeing focus, so if students are interested in attending this they should also bring appropriate clothing for this session

You Are Brilliant!!
Last week teachers were asked to nominate outstanding 6th Form students in their subject area. Ms Carter wrote personalised cards for each student, and it's been great to see some very happy faces around the place!

54 of our Year 12 students spent yesterday's Bright Day enjoying a Taster Day at the University of Nottingham. Students learnt how to write the perfect Personal Statement, had a tour of the campus (which looked beautiful in the spring sunshine), had lunch in the Student Union and got an insight into how much university would cost them. It was a great day and all of the students represented the academy perfectly!

The Year 12 Induction Day has been moved from Friday 30th June 2017 to Monday 3rd July 2017, due to prom taking place on the evening of Friday 30th June 2017.

A small group of our Most Able Year 12 students recently enjoyed a taster day at the University of Oxford, Magdalen College. Accompanied by Ms Carter, Head of Sixth Form, they were taken on a tour of the beautiful grounds (including a deer park), talked to students currently studying at Oxford, delighted in a two course lunch and had a Classics lecture. Our students were absolutely fantastic and represented the academy brilliantly. Everyone involved agreed it was the perfect way to spend a Monday!

The Academy has introduced a new online payment system called Scopay to enable parents / carers to pay for items such as trips, music invoices, revision guides etc. Payments for dinners should continue to be made through sQuid.
Emails were sent on Monday 23 January 2017 that provided instructions and a link code to enable parents / carers to set up an account in order to make payments online.
In future the Academy would like all payments (other than dinners) to be made via Scopay.
Please contact Karen Wood or Denise Welton if you have any queries or require assistance in setting your Scopay account up.
