    Visit our examinations page for more details.

    Year 11 and Year 13 leaving arrangements 

    In order to give teachers time to mark and evaluate the work of students as a result of the implementation of Centre Assessment Grades for secondary schools in England in 2021, we will not require students to be in school after Friday 28th May. The students will be providing evidence for their grades up until this date. 

    The Academy has, however, planned for additional school based and remote provision up until the statutory school leaving date on Friday 25th June 2021; this includes safeguarding procedures and protocols to ensure the most vulnerable students are catered for and we can support our community during these unusual times.
