Please take a look at the following information regarding food practicals. If you haven’t let your child’s teacher know they need ingredients providing and they are Pupil Premium, please can you do so as soon as possible.

We do not want anyone missing their practical lessons, nor do we want excessive waste by ordering for students who aren’t sure if they need it providing or not. Many thanks!

This event is designed to increase student understanding, ambition and aspiration in their educational and work journey. 

If you work for a company/organisation or run your own business and would like to support either of these events, we would love to hear from you.  Please email Clare Goodwin (Careers Advisor): cgoodwin@bruntsacademy.org

Please click on the image to download the letter outlining the key information about the incentive and the criteria for our first incentive trip with Year 11 – Scarefest at Alton Towers.

All students have been issued with Conduct Cards today to add their intervention attendance, behaviour, and ambitious learner scores.

Eligibility to attend the trip will be shared with students closer to the trip date and tickets will be available via Parent Pay.

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing information with pupils and families about an important development to the way learning takes place beyond the classroom. Following a review of our approach to homework, we have updated our strategy and will now refer to all homework as Independent Learning. This change reflects our belief that learning outside the classroom should not be seen as a disconnected task, but as an integral part of a pupil's education.

Our Independent Learning programme is rooted in educational research and has been designed to have a greater impact on pupil progress. The purpose of Independent Learning is to support pupils to retain knowledge more effectively, practise and apply the skills learned in lessons and develop the independence, organisation, resilience and study habits that will benefit them throughout their education and beyond.

Attached to this communication is our new Independent Learning Guide for Parents & Pupils, which explains the rationale, expectations and support available. We encourage all parents and carers to read this guide with their child.

Over the coming weeks, pupils will receive further information through tutor time and assemblies to help them understand the importance of Independent Learning and how to be successful.

Next week, all pupils will receive an Independent Learning Folder and will have the opportunity during tutor time to create a personalised Independent Learning timetable. This will help pupils to plan when they will complete their work, taking into account other commitments such as clubs, sports, family activities and planned breaks. We would welcome your support in discussing this timetable with your child and reinforcing the importance of establishing a regular Independent Learning routine.

Key Dates

• Monday 21st September: The first Independent Learning tasks will be set on ClassCharts.

• Every Monday thereafter: All Independent Learning will be set through ClassCharts.

• Pupils will have one week to complete each task.

• Monday 28th September: Rewards and sanctions linked to Independent Learning will come into effect.

We believe this revised approach will help pupils develop the knowledge, habits and independence needed to achieve success, and we look forward to working in partnership with families to support pupils in establishing strong Independent Learning routines.

Thank you for your continued support.

Please find attached the timetable for the forthcoming Year 11 October Mock Examination Series. The timetable shows all subjects that will be sitting examinations during this mock period.

Please note that Art and Photography students will complete a full-day examination as part of their mock assessments. Further details regarding the arrangements and timings for these examinations will be communicated separately in due course.

Each student will receive a personalised examination timetable, including their allocated seat numbers, during the week before the mock examinations begin. We deliberately issue these closer to the start of the examination series to reduce the likelihood of them being misplaced.

We would like to stress the importance of full attendance throughout the mock examination period. These examinations play a vital role in helping students:

• Identify gaps in their knowledge and understanding.

• Gain valuable experience of formal examination conditions.

• Develop effective revision strategies ahead of their GCSE examinations.

• Build confidence and resilience in preparation for the summer examination series.

• Familiarise themselves with examination procedures and expectations.

Mocks provide an important opportunity for students to practise the skills required for success and to receive meaningful feedback that will help shape their preparation over the coming months. We therefore ask for your support in ensuring that students attend all scheduled examinations and arrive punctually.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the mock examination timetable or arrangements, please encourage your child to speak to their tutor in the first instance. Parents and carers are also welcome to contact Mr Morris or Mrs Prince, who will be happy to assist.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to help our Year 11 students achieve their very best.

Kind regards,

Lindsey Maycock
