Letter for Y11 Parents

Fri 07 Jun 2024
Dear Year 11 Parents,

We are writing to confirm leaving information for our brilliant Year 11.

On the afternoon of Thursday 13 June 2024, Year 11 will gather for our annual Y11 shirt signing!  We will meet during Period 5 and there will be an opportunity for students to speak with staff, take photos etc. Students who have ordered Leavers Hoodies will receive their hoody at the end of the school day on Wednesday 12 June 2024.

As students still have formal examinations to complete after this date, they must attend school in a clean shirt for their exam; shirts cannot have writing on them due to JCQ exam regulations. A reminder that exams for Product Design, Further Maths and Catering are scheduled for the week commencing 17 June 2024. A reminder that full attendance of exams is a criteria for our prom.

The 2024 Prom will be held on Thursday 20 June 2024 at Burntwood Court Hotel. Students who have achieved their invitation should aim to arrive between 6-7pm. This will allow time for students to take those all important photographs before they walk the red carpet! We will aim to do this from 7:15pm. The evening of celebration will finish at 11pm. We understand the significance of this event for students and are diligently working to ensure it is an unforgettable experience. 

On Friday 21 June 2024, we will be hosting Prom Breakfast. We would like students to arrive in their Prom Wear and meet Mr Chadburn/Mr Bray in the bus park area of the car park from 10:45; students should arrive no later than 11am. Students will know from previous Prom Breakfasts that they will walk the red carpet into the academy and be greeted by their families and our school community. This extra special event will finish at 12:30pm. 

We sincerely hope that all our students experience an enjoyable and memorable last week with us, what a journey it has been!

Yours faithfully, 

Josh Bray                                   Caitlin Wrend
