Dear Parent/Carer,
Arrangements for September 2024
I hope you have enjoyed a restful summer break.
A reminder that students will be returning to school as follows:

General Information
Uniform
All students are expected to adhere to the school’s Uniform Policy; students who are not wearing appropriate uniform may be sanctioned. Here is a reminder of our expectations, along with a copy of our Uniform Policy:
* Year 7 – yellow, Year 8 – blue, Year 9 – green, Year 10 – purple, Year 11 – red
From September, students will also be required to have “The Grace 5” with them throughout the school day which is a: bag, pencil case, reading book, water bottle and student planner. Form tutors will check students have these items with them during morning line-ups and should students not have the correct equipment they will be sanctioned.
Punctuality and Attendance
From September, Government legislation is changing so that any student arriving late to school (after 8.50am) will be given a U code, meaning those students will be marked as absent for 50% of their school day. This will therefore have a significant impact on their overall attendance figure. A reminder that students should have at least 97% attendance throughout the academic year. Students whose attendance falls below this threshold will be subject to intervention from the Local Authority and could also incur fines.
Key Dates
We would also like to share some key dates for September with you:
We are excited for the academic year ahead and for our students to return to an Academy where they can continue to flourish and develop, embodying our Grace values of Limitless Potential, Intentional Excellence, Genuine Integrity, Mutual Respect and Amazing Grace as we move forwards in our “Grace Way”.
May I also take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs N Whiles
Principal
