Attendance
Attendance in academy is monitored and causes for concern are discussed with the school attendance improvement adviser on a weekly basis. Academies will always try to resolve attendance issues initially with young people and/or their parents, however there are occasions when more intensive work is requested and we will work very closely as an academy to improve overall attendance and future life chances for our academy community.
Exam Preparation Support
We have launched some new parent & student leaflets to support young people to revise and study more effectively. Please could you take some time to go through these with your child and to try out some of our top tips.
