Dear Parent/Carer,
Comic Relief - Red Nose Day - Friday 19th March 2021
The last 12 months have been incredibly tough for all of us, but we’re so proud of how our pupils have managed. As parents and carers, you’ve also had your lives turned upside down, and we’re so grateful for all of your efforts at home.
As well as taking the opportunity to be part of something positive, we’ll be using Red Nose Day as a learning opportunity. We’ll explore the issues facing young people across the world, and how the money we raise can help.
On Friday 19th March 2021, students and staff are invited to attend the Academy wearing a red top or accessory. It is hoped that most, if not all students will get involved in the spirit of the day, and make a small donation towards raising funds for this cause. All other uniform rules still apply as normal. This is not a non-uniform day. As we are now a cashless Academy, please note that donations will not be able to be collected on the day. Donations can be made on the iPay account.
Please take some time to discuss the importance of maintaining excellent standards of behaviour as always with your child; nothing changes in this respect. If the students make this a success, it means events such as this are far more likely to be approved in the future. Some of the anticipated 'Frequently Asked Questions' are addressed overleaf.
Yours sincerely,
Kathryn Senior
Vice Principal
