From the Principal
The start to the term has been a positive and busy one. Students arrived back to both sites looking smarter than ever in their uniforms and have approached their studies with a real sense of determination and diligence. The prefects on both sites have taken to their duties well, and are to be applauded on their efforts to give their personal best. Being a prefect is an honour and provides the opportunity, amongst other things, to represent all the students in meetings with myself and other Senior Leaders. We also welcome some new staff to the academy, most notably Mrs Helen Robinson (Director of Student Engagement and Standards) and Ms Angela Yorke (Director of Learning Zone for Mathematics, Science and Technology). I'm sure you will give them your full support as we strive to give all of our students the best provision possible.This will be a really exciting year for the Academy and it is one which already shows signs of much improved GCSE results, based on student performance and grades already achieved in Year 10. We will also finally see the start of the new build on South Site. Students and staff are now very involved in the process of designing a building which will be fit for 21st century learning and we look forward to sharing the early planning with you soon.
