Transition to strood academy

Weekly Transition Events

Here at Strood Academy, we are committed to ensuring a smooth and successful transition for Year 4, 5 and 6 pupils joining us in the years to come.

To achieve this, we will be running a series of weekly transition sessions, as can be seen in the image here. Each weekly session will be held by a different department, aiming to provide your child an insight into the range of subjects on offer here at Strood Academy. We believe this is a fantastic opportunity to alleviate any anxieties your children may have about starting secondary school and to foster a positive relationship between our school and your children.

Please see the below letter for further information as well as how to confirm attendance to these events.

pre owned at strood academy

We are currently working on opening our 'Pre-owned at Strood Academy' uniform shop. This will be ready to launch from September.

In our stock we have lots of larger size blazers, skirts etc suitable for KS4 students. We do not have many items suitable for KS3 students.

If you are a parent/guardian of a KS3 student who is looking to purchase a larger blazer/skirt in preparation for the new academic year, please contact Mrs West (gaby.west@stroodacademy.org) to see if it would be suitable to donate your smaller blazer and receive a pre-owned larger blazer for your child in return. We would also welcome donations via Parent Pay in this process to allow us to continue to fund our 'Pre-owned at Strood Academy' uniform shop.

Key Stage 3

Year 9 Chromebook Returns

A reminder that Year 9 Chromebooks are to be returned during the week beginning Monday, 8th July. Students will be instructed to leave their Chromebooks with their computing teacher at the end of their computing lesson during this week. We kindly request that you also return any chargers that you may have in your possession. This will greatly assist us in preparing for the Chromebook rollout next academic year.

Year 9 students will then be receiving new Chromebooks in September. More detailed information about the new devices will be provided in Module 6.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please see the letter below for further information

MYP Reports

Earlier on this module, parents and carers of KS3 students will have received their MYP reports. In order to support parents and carers with understanding the KS3 MYP Reports, issued twice per year, we have put together this short video explaining what each section means. We hope you find this useful.

Year 10 Mocks

We are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication Year 10 pupils have shown throughout their mock examination period. All students worked incredibly hard and applied themselves fantastically. This provides not only an accurate picture of where they are in terms of their studies, but also great experience for their GCSE exams this time next year.

We look forward to sharing their successes with you on Year 10 Mock Results Afternoon on Wednesday 10th July between 2:30pm and 3:30pm.

SIXTH FORM

Attached is the KS5 dress code for your information, as well as Expectations which have been shared with year 12 and 13 students
Early Finish Fridays: any 6th form students who achieve 100% attendance for the week have the opportunity of leaving during lunchtimes on Friday. Ms Stubbs will be liaising with eligible students. Please refer to the letter shared this week for further information on this.
Years 12 and 13 have subject-specific study periods built into their timetables, roomed into the study area. This area is now being supervised as a quiet study area to enable students to continue with their set subject work. We hope students find this useful.
