Supporting Students
A Head of Year has pastoral responsibility for each year group, with a brief to ensure that each student reaches his or her potential.
We work hard with parents/carers to ensure high attendance rates for all students. A telephone, text message and e-mail system ensures speedy contact with parents/careers in the event of any unforeseen absence.
The Academy has been given the opportunity to take part in a new project that will run jointly between schools and West Yorkshire Police. The project has been established to support children who are resident in households where there are incidents of domestic violence and abuse. We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally hurt by being either present in the house or directly witnessing an incident of domestic violence.
The project will ensure that a member of the Academy staff is trained to allow them to use the information that has been shared, in confidence, and ensure that the Academy is able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in or witnessed a domestic violence or abuse incident.
Target Setting & Monitoring
We collect and use data on student performance regularly; internal and external assessments are used to ensure we closely monitor student progress and set challenging targets for all of our students.
Progress monitoring reports are sent home on a regular basis to parents/carers. There is at least one subject teacher parents’ evening each year, giving parents/carers the opportunity to discuss progress.
