Attendance Matters: Keep the Streak Going!

We’re well into the term, and our attendance challenges are in full swing! It’s great to see so many students turning up every day and giving your tutor groups a strong start.

The 35-Day Attendance Streak Challenge – If your child has been in every single day so far, they’re still on track to earn a reward at the end of term!

The Tutor Group Race – Full attendance for a whole tutor group earns a star on the chart. 10 stars = £10 in the pot for an epic end-of-year treat! And guess what? 10G has already hit the first 10 stars! Congratulations.

There’s still plenty of time to make every day count. Let’s see which tutor groups will rise to the challenge and who will be celebrating at the end of term!

Chaplaincy

This term sees the start of the Lent season – Wednesday 5th March being Ash Wednesday – and the Chaplaincy Department invites students and staff to embrace this time of reflection, prayer, and renewal. Lent is a special period in the Christian calendar, that encourages us to focus on spiritual growth, acts of kindness, and self-discipline. Our Academy community has marked the beginning of this journey with a Lent-focused Collective Worship, reminding us of the values of humility, compassion and our termly value reconciliation.

Throughout Lent, we will offer opportunities for prayer and personal reflection, with this taking a particular focus during Prayer Week (17th – 21st March), we hope this will help everyone to prepare for Easter with a renewed heart and spirit. Stay tuned for more updates on our Chaplaincy initiatives, and let’s support one another in making this season meaningful!
