May I take this opportunity to thank parents for all their support over the last half term.  We have been getting record numbers at our various parents evenings.  This partnership between the Academy and parents is crucial if we are to get the best out of our students.  We are working on a new approach to homework, which we will discuss in some detail after Easter, and which will require maximum support from parents.
