It was wonderful to welcome so many parents to the academy yesterday afternoon to discuss our approach to helping pupils make rapid progress in reading.
This half-term is a busy time for assessments in all year groups across the academy. Pupils in Years 11 and 13 have just finished their mock exams and next week, pupils in all other year groups will complete their termly assessments.
Below you will find information and updates to guide you through the next few weeks.
Homework
Remember that all pupils in every year group should be completing at least one hour of homework every day. If you have any questions or concerns around homework, please contact your child’s Head of Year.
MCAS App
All parents should now have received their unique login details for the My Child At School (MCAS) website and App. MCAS provides parents with daily updates about their child’s attendance, homework, behaviour and timetables. If you haven't yet received your login details, you can request for them to be sent to you again by emailing info@arkstalbans.org
Clubs
Please check the schedule for after-school clubs which are now fully back up and running after recent weeks when the sports hall has been closed due to examinations.
Please do encourage your child to join a club; they are free of charge and there is no need to sign-up in advance.
RSE Event
Remember our next consultation event on Thursday 23rd November at 4pm. This consultation event will return to the topic of relationships and sex education.
Community Group
