More details of the evening will be communicated to you closer to the event. We will have all forms on hand should you need them, our Special Educational Needs Coordinator, the SLT team and the Executive Principal and Head of Academy will also be in attendance should you have any questions or require anything further.

First Day

The first day of school in September can be a very daunting time for your child. They will meet a lot of new people both their peers and adults across the school. During this day, the head of year and the Assistant Principal will be on hand to ensure the smoothest start to their secondary education. The first day will usually include a longer period of time with their tutor, allowing students to get to know their first point of contact within the academy and getting to know the group with whom they will spend a majority of their time with in the first few days and weeks of the year.
