Key Letters to read:

What time should I arrive?

New term for students begins on MONDAY 6th SEPTEMBER, with
students needing to be across the purple line by 8:20 am. The gates will open at 8:00 a.m. and students
can arrive from 8:00 a.m.
All students in year 8-11 should arrive at the main Academy gates, whereas Year 7 will enter via the side
gate on Waveney Road, for the first half term.


What time do I finish?

School starts for all students at 8:25am (remember, over the line by 8:20am!). School ends at 2:30pm but we would love you to stay back for Enrichment and take part in exciting opportunities such as sports, drama and further study. This will run from 13th September. 
Enrichment is 2:30pm - 3:30pm. 

Where do I go?

Your new learning manager will meet you at the gate and give you a place to line up. We will put you into tutor groups and your new tutor will have your timetable.

We know Year 7 students will be nervous about arriving so we have set aside plenty of time for a tour of the whole school and lots of time to meet everyone. 

Do I need my PE Kit?

Not on the first day. We will give you a timetable and this will help you get organised for the week.
