Mr Moore's News Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am writing to you at the conclusion of a busy and incredibly productive module. It has been "jam-packed" with inquiry-based learning, which has seen our pupils cooking, interpreting diverse musical genres, and exploring the history of crime and punishment.

It is truly inspiring to watch our young learners come out of their shells, work collaboratively, and grow in confidence. Through our International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, we strive to extend the National Curriculum, making learning meaningful so that children understand their role in society. We speak frequently about "Taking Action" to make the world a better place—whether that is organising charity events or driving a sustainability campaign. We hope this passion is being shared with you at home!

A Note on School Uniform

To maintain our high standards, class teachers have been checking in with pupils regarding uniform. Recently, we have noticed an increase in:

• Footwear: Pupils wearing trainers instead of school-suitable black smart shoes.

• Ties: Pupils attending without their house-colored ties.

Our uniform policy is a key part of our academy identity. If items have been lost or are currently being replaced, please communicate this directly with your child’s class teacher so we can support you.

I hope you all have a restful and enjoyable half-term break.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Moore
