Year 7 ONLY – Start of Term Notice

Friday 3 September 2021

Dear Parents/Carers

I hope you have had an enjoyable and restful summer period and that your child is now eagerly awaiting the start of their journey with us at Hanham Woods Academy.  I wanted to send this final communication to confirm the start of term arrangements for next week (w/c Monday 6th September).

Start times:

If your child is NOT taking part in on-site testing on Monday 6th September they need to arrive at the Academy via the Memorial Road entrance between 9.00-9.10am.

If your child IS having their second lateral low test on-site with us on Monday 6th September they need to arrive and register via the Memorial Road entrance at the times shown below (these have not changed since the previous communication:

Year 7 ONLY - Start of Term Notice

We encourage our students to walk and cycle safely to the Academy.  Please be aware that parent/carer vehicles are not allowed to drive into the Academy car park either before or after-school.

Uniform:

From Monday 6th September all students need to arrive to the Academy in full Academy uniform.  If there have been complications with uniform orders, please send your child in with a note to explain this and we will make a note on our system.  PE kit will not be needed to be brought to the Academy on Monday or Tuesday.  A reminder that PE kit will no longer be worn to the Academy, it must instead be brought in a kit bag and only on a student’s timetabled PE days.

What to bring to the Academy:

Students need to bring their:

  • fully equipped pencil case
  • school bag that can fit an A4 folder comfortably
  • water bottle
  • coat
  • smile!

Student Lunches:

All of Year 7 will need to bring a packed lunch to the Academy on Monday 6th, Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th September.  This is to give us time to process bio-metric data and to allow their payment accounts to be set up.  If your child is in receipt of ‘free school meals’ they will be able to collect a packed lunch from our canteen staff on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th September.

End of Academy Day

All students will finish the Academy day at 3pm from Monday 6th September.
