We have created a series of questions that you as a new student into Streetly Academy might have. We will continue to answer questions over the summer and update this section to support you all.
Q. Where do I go on my first day?
A. You will be met on your first day at the front gate (Queslett Rd). You will then be guided by staff to where your form tutors will be. You will then get to spend some time with your new form (Don’t be nervous, you will love Streetly!)
Q. What do I do if I get lost on my first day?
A. You can ask any of our students and staff where to go. At lesson changeover all our staff are out on corridors or standing by their classrooms so there will be lots of people to ask. You will have a map of the school to help you.
Q. Will I use my chromebook every lesson?
A. You may not use your chromebook every lesson but you will need to make sure that it is charged everyday. A charged chromebook is a part of your everyday equipment.
Q. How do I get rewards?
A. You can get recognition for your efforts in school in a number of ways. This includes how you conduct yourself as a member of our school community, present and take pride in your work and uniform, be involved in as many clubs and activities as possible, and being kind and friendly to all.
Q. What subjects do I do?
A. For a full list of subjects and the staff that teach them please go to the Curriculum Tab on the main screen of the website.
Q. Who do I see if I am worried about something?
A. There are a lot of people you can see if you are worried. You can speak to your classroom teacher. If you would prefer it to be quieter you can go to your Head of Year or Form Tutor. There is also a place called Respite. This is where Mrs Stroyd works and she will be happy to have some quiet time with you where you can talk about what’s worrying you. The SEND department are also very friendly and approachable.
Q. What is the Life Curriculum?
A. The life curriculum is every morning between 8.45am and 9.20am. You will do lots of different activities each day, including the Streetly mile for physical well being.
