  FAQs  
  Will the Academy provide a safe environment for my child?

As an experienced headteacher of an inner-city school, our Principal, Paul Hollingum, is all too aware that parents are rightly concerned about their child's safety at school. At the start and end of each school day, staff will be on duty in nearby streets and at bus stops to ensure good behaviour and a sense of security for students.

Inside the Academy itself, we will ensure proper supervision of students and also ensure that intruders cannot access students or staff.

A staggered school day, with different break and lunch times for different parts of the school, will mean that not all students are on break simultaneously. For Years 7 and 8, who will share an entire floor of the new building, we are aiming to create a "small school feel" to the Academy, a step up from what children have been used to at their primary schools.
