Calendar
The school day will be shortened to allow additional time for this event.
All pupils will follow their normal timetable, but lessons will be 55 minutes long instead of 60 minutes. The lunch break will also be reduced by 5 minutes.
All pupils will be dismissed from their lessons at 3:00pm, the scholars’ bus service will run as normal at 3:30pm so there is no need to make alternative arrangements to collect your child early. Pupils who use the scholars’ bus service should stay on-site until 3:30pm and will be supervised in designated year group areas.
All extra-curricular clubs which are usually held with Academy staff will be cancelled. Homework club and private music lessons will go ahead as normal.
A celebration with our Class of 2017 GCSE Graduates
Our Music Department will be holding an informal concert on Thursday 14th December from 7:00pm – 9:30pm in ‘Food for Thought’. The event will be hosted by the WCEA Big Band, who will perform a range of pieces, including some Christmas repertoire. The band will be joined by our wonderful choirs and we hope to include some dance performances on the evening. The premise behind the event is to hold a relaxed, informal get together where people can enjoy the excellent music and maybe even have a little boogie on the dance floor!
Tickets must be purchased in advance by Friday 8th December from the Academy Business Office and are priced at £4.00 each or £10.00 for a family of three. Any pupils wishing to attend must do so with a parent/carer. Monies raised will be used to develop the extra-curricular opportunities we offer in the Academy, for example to buy music for future performances or equipment for the Big Band.
Mince pies and drinks will be available on the evening; any donations towards the costs of these refreshments will be greatly appreciated.
We look forward to seeing you at what I am sure will be a wonderful event and thank you for your continued support.
