    Published 02/09/24

    • Years 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13: Wednesday 4th September at 8.20am

    Morning Arrangements

    Students are to line up every morning promptly at 8.20am at the appropriate location where they will be greeted by their Form Tutor and accompanied into the building:

    Students will be allocated a locker in the new term upon receipt of a deposit of £10.00.  Payments can be made via our online payment system, ParentPay.  Login details will be sent to you in due course.  Cash payments cannot be accepted.

    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:

    • Black Grace Academy Blazer, with appropriate coloured year group flash* and Academy logo.

    * Year 7 – yellow, Year 8 – blue, Year 9 – green, Year 10 – purple, Year 11 – red

    • Plain white cotton shirt with a top button that must be fastened at all times.
    • Purple Grace Academy tie with GA logo on display below the knot.
    • Black full-length trousers which hang below the ankle.
    • Black pleated skirt which must be knee length and worn with plain black tights.  Skirts that are non-pleated will not be permitted. 
    • Piercings: 
      • A single pair f ear studs are the only piercings permitted.  All ther piercings must be removed prior to arrival at the Academy.
      • Clear inserts r plasters covering piercings are not permitted.
    • Watches:
      • A mechanical watch is permitted.
      • Smart watches are nt permitted.
    • No hoodies, denim or leather jackets are allowed.  Students may wear a coat to and from school and during free time, but these will remain in form rooms or lockers during the day. 
    • Hair and/or braids should be of a natural colour and there should be no shaved tramlines in students’ hair or eyebrows.  Students should not wear any non-essential hair accessories.
    • No false eyelashes or false nails to be worn.
    • Natural make-up only.
    • Students will not be allowed to use mobile phones at all during the day and should not have airpods.  Any phones or airpods seen during the school day will be confiscated. 

    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:

    • School photos: Monday 23rd September
    • Years 8-13 New Tutor introductory phone calls: week beginning Monday 16th September
    • Year 7 Meet the Tutor evening: Thursday 3rd October:  5pm to 7pm
    • Sixth Form Open Evening: Thursday 17th October: 5pm to 7pm

    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

  • Year 11 and Year 13 Exam Briefing Timetable

    Published 03/05/24

    Friday, 3rd May 2024

    Dear Parent/Carer,

    Year 11 and Year 13 Exam Briefing Timetable

    Please use the link below to connect to the timetable for both Year 11 and Year 13 students for the exam period commencing on Monday 6th May. This timetable contains details of individual exams, scheduled revision sessions and pre-examination briefings.  

    For Year 11 students, this timetable replaces their existing timetable, which means that every day from Tuesday 7th May students will either be in scheduled revision sessions or their exams.

    However, Year 13 students are expected to attend all of their normal timetabled lessons unless they have an exam briefing session that is on this timetable which will be either on the afternoon before, or the morning of, their exam.

    Students who are enrolled on Btec courses must continue to attend all their lessons until the Head of Department for that subject confirms to them and the Sixth Form team that their coursework has been completed, marked, moderated and signed off by the exam board. Only at this point will they be advised they no longer need to attend these lessons and will only be expected to attend their other timetabled lessons.

    If you have any specific queries or concerns, please contact either Mr Shrimpton for Year 11 (alecshrimpton@graceacademy.org.uk) or Mrs Moore for Year 13 (louisemoore@graceacademy.org.uk).

    Kind regards,

    Miss Lavelle
    Assistant Principal for Key Stage 4
