Message from the Head of School:
Another exciting week at the Academy with plenty of successes to celebrate. On the sporting pitches, we saw more girls Rugby success as well as boys Cricket success, again showing that we continue to lead the way in sporting competitions across the region.
We also celebrated four conditional offers for students in our College@Sirius to Oxbridge universities. This demonstrates the high expectations and aspirations that our students hold and as staff, we take great pride in supporting all of our students in reaching their potential and succeeding in their aspirations.
As always thank you for your support.
General Academy news
Y11 Mock Results and Progress Evening - Thursday 23rd January
Year 11 looked to the future in assembly this morning, contemplating the idea that 2/3 of the jobs on offer in later life do not currently exist. The world is changing at a phenomenal rate and we need to ensure that our students have the best start in adult life by achieving the best results. With this in mind, we are looking forward to seeing Y11 students with parents / carers on Thursday. Students will receive their mock examination results and speak to their subject teachers to look at the best ways to maximise progress in the remaining weeks at school. There will also be information available surrounding the College@Sirius and revision / independent-working skills. Please encourage your child to make appointments with all teachers prior to Thursday.
Precautionary Information:
We have been informed of an increase in cases of head lice among children in the area.
As a precaution, parents/carers may wish to check their child's hair for signs of eggs or lice.
Should you find signs of head lice they can be easily treated with over the counter shampoos and lotions.
Our Year 8 Rugby Girls qualified for the Yorkshire Cup stages with a win over Archbishop Sentamu.
Squad: Ruby Ellis, Ruby Bennett, Bronwyn Leake, Sienna Longley, Honey Williams, Emily Last, Keisha Alett, Brooke Williamson and Melody Teal.
Our KS3 Boys Cricket team won the Hull Schools Indoor Championships this week with three wins and a Final victory over Malet Lambert.
