This year, Eid will fall either on Sunday 25 or Monday 26 June. The academy will be open as normal on 26 June but due to the number of staff who might be absent to celebrate Eid, we will need to rearrange staffing to cover lessons. To enable us to do this, students will be leaving the Academy early on that day, at 12.50pm. Students who are entitled to a Free School Meal will be invited to collect theirs from the dining room as they leave.

If your child is going to be absent because they are celebrating Eid on Monday 26 June, please either call us on the morning, or send them into school with a note the day after, so we can authorise this absence.

While writing, I would also like to remind you that the Academy year ends on Wednesday 19 July at 12.50pm. I would like to thank you for your support this year: we have had a wonderful year and our students have worked hard to achieve great things. I look forward to the start of our new term on Wednesday 6 September (students’ staggered arrival times and term dates are on our website).
