During the last half term, we have undertaken a review of student entrances to the Academy. Due to the increasing number of students we now have on roll, there are now a significant number of students accessing the Academy via the North Entrance. As such, we have made the decision to change the Year 8 entrance from next half term.

Year 8 students will now enter the academy via the Boulevard Entrance on West Street and then walk past the front of the school to the Komplex gate where they will continue entering the school building via the Bottom Link Door.

As ever, we will constantly focus on standards. We want all of our conversations with our students to be about their learning and never about the things that just ‘get in the way’. Please therefore continue to support us with this by ensuring that as ever, children are in the academy by 8.20am at the latest (in preparation for 8.25am which is the first lesson), wearing the correct academy uniform and prepared to learn. This includes having with them their school bag and all necessary equipment for the day, including their planner and Need to Know Book.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs H Craddock
Principal
