Letter to Parents: Thank you

Dear Parents/ Carers,

As we prepare to end our academic year, I wanted to take the opportunity to write to you and thank you for your ongoing support in maintaining our expectations and standards. I know that we have made a real impact in the last few weeks and have prepared all year groups ready to step-up in September.

We have had an incredible summer term with lots to celebrate and to be proud of. Year 11 conducted themselves impeccably during the exams and we celebrated in style at Prom and our Prom Breakfast. We look forward to celebrating with them again in August when students will receive the outcome of their hard work on results day.

We have had a number of highlights this term:  Y9 Graduations, Y6 transition events, our Shrek Jnr production, BikeFest and our trips to Naples and Berlin, to name just a few. There have also been a huge number of very personal achievements, both in and out of the Academy, for some of our students. We have a lot of talent to celebrate! We thank our families for the good news stories that they regularly share with us.  Please keep checking our website and follow us on our socials for the most up to date information throughout the year.

The Academy will re-open to students in Y7 and Y11 on Tuesday 3rd September, 08:10 - 08:20 for a prompt 08:25 start. 

Y8, Y9 and Y10 will return on Wednesday 4th September, 08:10 - 08:20 for a prompt 08:25 start. 

We have already shared a letter with you about uniform and expectations, which you can access here and we will share a more detailed letter about September later this week.

Summer holidays are a special time for families and a chance for our young people to relax, recharge and have fun. Please remind our young people to be safe around open water, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue have lots of useful information on their website which you can access here. 

Whatever you have planned, home or away, I wish you a very happy and a very safe summer on behalf of all of the staff here at Outwood Academy Shafton.

Yours faithfully, 

Principal
