Extra-curricular clubs and activities
Parents and carers are invited to look through our timetable of extra-curricular clubs. In addition, there are a number of XL Booster sessions for Year 11.
No booking is required - so please speak to your child about your expectations about your child returning home and keeping you informed with the clubs they plan to attend.
And soon, our talented performers will have the chance to appear in our prestigious Trust Production with children from other academies. Our summer 2025 show is Sweeney Todd - find out more here.
All students should be completing their homework
We expect every student, every day to complete our ‘10:10:10’ homework:
- 10 minutes of independent revision using their Knowledge Expert Sheets
- 10 minutes of careful reading using ‘Sparx Reader’
- 10 minutes of maths practice using ‘Sparx Maths’
Watch our video: What are Knowledge Expert Sheets?
Have you downloaded the Arbor App?
Arbor lets you see information about your child - their timetable, their reward points and the transactions they've made in the diner.
Eventually we will move communications to the app, and become cashless in the academy with Arbor the method of adding money to your child's lunch account.
To log in, you need the email address we have on file for you. Please contact reception if you are having issues logging in.
Are you receiving these messages by SMS? Please download our Parent App. It's called My Ed, saves the school money and lets you message us for free and see useful information about your child.
