Letter to Parents and Carers: September 2025: Return Dates

Dear Parents and Carers,

Be safe, be respectful, be responsible.

In readiness for our return in September, I know that you will support me in ensuring that your children follow our rules which are the essential foundations for our whole behaviour policy.  The overarching aim of our behaviour policy is to promote positive behaviour, to ensure our students grow into safe, respectful and responsible citizens and to allow them to learn in a calm and purposeful environment.

To support a calm and purposeful arrival in the academy, we have the following in place for a 8:10 arrival:

Year groups remain in allocated areas for form time to enable Learning Managers and SLT links to visit forms, ensuring a positive start to the day.

September - Return dates

Attendance and punctuality at the academy is vitally important

Please do not book holidays during term time as this will be counted as an unauthorised holiday and may incur a fine. If you know that your child is going to be absent, please telephone the Academy where possible using option 2 before 8:15am or email attendance@shafton.outwood.com 

Our students must arrive for 8:15 every morning for form time.  Doors close at 8:25.  Anyone arriving after 8:25 will enter through our late door and gain a same day 20 minute detention.  This is because all curriculum time is essential.

INSET Dates (students will not be in the Academy on these days):

You can access term dates and closures on our website.

I hope that you have a lovely summer and I know that myself and the rest of the staff team are looking forward to seeing all students return in September.  Enjoy time with your families and hopefully some sunshine. 

Yours faithfully,
