Q3 Academy Great Barr

Following the recent introduction of an area for the students to play football at social times, it has been great to see how students are actively looking after our beautiful grounds. After social time games, students collect any rubbish and ensure the area is clean and tidy.

Community: Taking Care of Our Environment

Last half term we have continued celebrating our CARE Values: Community, Ambition, Respect, and Excellence. Here's a look back at some of those moments...

CARE Values in Action

We are delighted to share a number of exciting upcoming opportunities for both current students and those considering joining GB6th. We are looking forward to welcoming prospective students to our upcoming Year 12 Transition Day on Tuesday 7th July. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to experience life at GB6th, meet staff and current students, and explore their chosen subjects in more depth.

As we continue the drive towards the highest standards for all students, it is important that they are wearing full and correct uniform. This helps create a community where everyone feels equal and a togetherness that supports our CARE values.

Creating a Sense of Community

Last week we sent a letter to parents/carers to consult on a proposal to alter the start and end times of the day. We are also seeking views on introducing mobile phone pouches for students to use during the day, rather than handing phones in at Tutor time.

We want the students who showcase our CARE Values to be celebrated and rewarded. At the end of the term we did just that by holding our Rewards Assemblies. A real highlight was the contribution of our wonderful musicians. Mr Sassons and the Senior Band opened the assemblies with a fantastic display of their talents that really set the tone for what was to come. The students' talent and hard work make them an asset to the Academy.

As we come to the end of the spring term, I want to thank our families for their continued support and partnership. It has been a busy and rewarding few months at Q3 Academy Great Barr, and our students have shown real commitment to our CARE values throughout.

Easter Message from the Headteacher

It has been fantastic to see the positive response from students to our recent drive on standards and expectations. Staff have been holding students to account and ensuring that they make the correct decision in school, and this is having a positive impact on the culture, learning and ultimately the potential for success for all members of our community.
