Schools
Smaller schools within the academy
Students will belong to one of five small schools within the academy, similar to the tradional house system.
What these mean
The smaller schools mean that students build closer relationships with their teachers and fellow students, benefit from a nurturing environment on a daily basis and make better academic progress as they do not get lost in the system.
Transition from primary school to the academy
The small schools play a key role in supporting students when they move from their primary schools into the academy.
One of the schools is dedicated to year 7 students and will build on their primary school experiences.
The other schools are for students from year 8 to year 11.
Tutor Groups
The tutor groups will have a maximum of 15 students of different ages and will focus on individual support for learning in areas such as personal, social and health education.
