As per my letter last week, I wanted to update you with the online learning arrangements for Thursday and Tuesday that students who are at home will need to follow. 

Online Learning for Thursday 27th April and Tuesday 2nd May: Years 7, 8, 9 and 10. 

Students will need to be online from 08:30 ready to access a virtual assembly at 08:35 (a link to this will be posted to students on Show My Homework) on both days. The assembly will walk students through their online learning for the day. 

From 09:00 students will be expected to follow a similar timetable to previous strike days (tasks/links will be set on Show My Homework). The work will consist of English, Maths and Science with opportunities to read and take part in some exercise as well. This will be explained to students in the online assembly tomorrow morning. 

Students Attending the Academy on Thursday 27th April and/or Tuesday 2nd May 

For the small group of students who are attending the Academy on Thursday 27th April and/or Tuesday 2nd May, students are expected to arrive on site at the normal time (08:10 – 08:30) and make their way to the Canteen. From there they will be directed to their provision for the day. The Canteen will be open as normal for students attending onsite provision. Resource Base students should go to the Resource Base as per their normal routine. 

Any student attending the Academy on Thursday 27th April and/or Tuesday 2nd May will need to be in full Academy uniform and arrive at the normal time (by 08:30am). The Academy Day will finish as normal at 15:00. No enrichment activities will be available at the end of the Academy Day on Thursday or Tuesday. 

All students are expected back in the Academy as normal on Friday 28th April (and then Wednesday 3rd May). 

Thank you again for your continued support and for your patience and understanding during this period of industrial action. 

Dream BIG // Work Hard // Be Kind
