Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long can teachers keep my child back after school?

    Legally, teachers can keep students behind after-school up to 15 minutes without notifying their parents. For a punishment any longer than this, a note will be sent home and a specific date arranged, so that the parent is aware of the arrangement.

  • What is the procedure for phoning in illness?

    If your child is unwell, you must phone the Academy before 8.40am on each day of sickness. Please call 0117 3167332.

    If you do not do this, your child will be marked absent and a truancy call sent out automatically.

    If your child is unwell for a period longer than 5 days a doctors note must be produced on their return to the Academy, otherwise their period of absence will be investigated.

     

  • Is my child allowed to wear jewellery?

    Students may wear one pair of stud earrings, a discreet ring and a watch. Any more than this will be confiscated.

  • Why is the uniform code so strict?

    Our experience in other Academies is that if everyone is wearing the uniform, it gives a sense of pride and confidence.

Aye mate! And welcome to limbo! Problem: I have no idea what page you're trying to work on. You need to define a body ID in the template, then turn on the necessary rows and columns in layout.css. Arrrrgh!
