Northern Education Trust are outcomes focused, child centred.

We are unswerving in our commitment to ensure that the outcomes our young people secure prepare them fully for life beyond school. Our Academies are happy and thriving communities where children both achieve and feel safe and cared for. As an inclusive Trust we strive to help young people overcome any barrier to learning. We are a caring employer and invest heavily in professional development, allowing our staff opportunities to take the next steps in their career.

We constantly focus on standards as we understand outcomes are paramount. Our decision making is driven entirely by what is best for children. By doing this we enhance the life chances of the children and young people in our care.

We are delighted to welcome parents/carers to a drop-in 'Meet the Teacher' session on Thursday 10th September 3:15pm - 4pm.

This is an opportunity for parents/carers to meet their child's new teacher and find out the expectations for the year.
No appointment needed.

Parents and Carers are warmly invited to attend this coming Tuesday.
Come and share ideas and discuss things with the principal, vice principal, assistant principal, SENDCos and phase leaders.

Please complete the Google form sent through My Child at School to confirm attendance so we ...can cater appropriately.

Please see below an overview of our uniform expectations for all children. Year 6 have a separate page.

The uniform policy was sent out before the holidays and a copy can be found on the academy website.
We hope this provides extra clarity so there are no surprises or misunderstandings... when we return later this week.

Please note:

🌿 Black trainers or black plimsolls for PE footwear only

🌿 All children Y1-Y6 get changed for PE in school for hygiene reasons (Reception can wear PE clothes on PE day then work towards changing at a later date as part of their life skills).

🌿 PE days will be sent out on 1st September once confirmed. These will be the days set for the year rather than changing half termly.

🌿 Earrings (including plastic holders) are not permitted.

Please enjoy the rest of the week, and we look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.

Breakfast Club starts again on Thursday 3rd September. 🥐 🥣
Please book through the ParentPay app.
