Letter to Parents and Carers: September Return: Conduct in the Community
Wed 16 Jul 2025
Dear Parents and Carers,
Firstly, I would like to thank all parents, carers and wider family members and their friends for supporting our young people and our Academy. I would also like to thank you for the many lovely comments received verbally on the phone, by email and social media thanking us for our work with our young people, this means a lot to our staff family. We have had a fantastic academic year despite the challenges we have faced with our building and industrial action.
Secondly, together we continue to drive standards and progress for all students, as well as educating our young people about:
Be safe, be respectful, be responsible.
We shared a letter with you on 8 July 2025 that as a result of congestion on our site during drop off and pick up, with effect from September, service buses will no longer come on to our site.
This means that students travelling by service bus will get off the bus at an appropriate bus stop. This also means that students will need to go to a bus stop off site when they leave school at the end of the day. Please visit Stagecoach for information on service bus timetables and help for planning your child’s journey to school.
If your child arrives by public transport, we ask all students to be reminded of our behaviour policy and ensure they are safe, respectful, and responsible. Though we continue to educate our young people and work closely with parents, we do ask that you speak to and educate your children about appropriate behaviour on public transport and in the community.
Students will be allowed to bring their bike onto site and lock in our bike sheds, they need to bring their own bike lock to ensure safety. No electric bikes or scooters are allowed on site. Students must walk bikes in and out of our grounds to ensure the safety of other students. It is your responsibility to ensure that your child uses appropriate protective equipment if they are cycling to school.
We would also ask that any parents who are dropping students off do so in the car park and not in residential areas or by the roadside.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully,
Alison McQueen
