Ackley Bridge Intergraded College

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am writing to inform you that Ackley Bridge Integrated College will undergo renovation work over the coming months.

As a result, all students will be transferred individually to alternative schools for their education after the summer break.

You will receive a letter by post confirming your child’s new school placement in due course.

We sincerely regret this change and apologise for any inconvenience or disruption this may cause.

Thank you for your understanding and support. Updates to follow.

We would like to say a amazing thank you to the entire team of companies who came in today and present all different options for the Year 12 students leaving our school.

If you have any issues or wanting to sign up, please contact the school and have whatever company you spoke to ready in hand.

Applications are open for Free School Meals and Uniform Allowances for the 2026/27 academic year.

Important info for applying:
✔️ Add each child for whom you have parental responsibility and who will be attending full time at school or Regional/FE College to your application

✔️ If children are aged over 16 and you’re unsure whether they will return to school or change schools, add on the application the child’s name and the name of the school your child waiting for results is most likely to attend

✔️ Inform the Meals and Uniform Section by phone or in writing if this information changes. You can do this by emailing [email protected]

Your child’s funding will be delayed if you do not add them to your application before submitting.

📢 IMPORTANT UPDATE | Year 12 Workshop

Today, all Year 12 students will be taking part in an important educational workshop delivered by Youth Justice.

They will be covering vital topics to help keep young people safe and informed, including:
✅ Crime, gangs & exploitation
✅ Bullying & healthy relationships
✅ Extremism awareness
✅ Drugs, alcohol & substance misuse
✅ Prevention strategies & personal safety

This session is mandatory for all Year 12 students and forms a key part of our safeguarding and personal development curriculum.

💛 Support & Wellbeing:

While the session will be delivered sensitively and age-appropriately, if you feel your child may be particularly sensitive or affected by these topics, please encourage them to speak to a member of staff. We will make suitable arrangements or provide extra support to ensure they feel comfortable and supported throughout.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Today Year 12 students will participate in a Workshop from the Youth Juice to explore topics from crime and gangs to bullying, extremism, prevention, drugs and alcohol. All Year 12 students must participate.
