Work Experience Summer 2020

1st July 2020Mrs C Tallis

Unfortunately, due to the current situation with COVID 19, the Academy has had to make the sad decision to cancel work experience this year. We have worked very closely with LEBC to assess the situation since the start of lockdown but, as student safety is our priority and many businesses are still closed, placements will not be taking place during the remainder of 2020.

If you have already paid for a work experience placement, we will be in touch by the end of the week via email to organise a full refund of the fee.

Free School Meals Voucher System

25th June 2020Miss K Henshaw

Some parents and carers may be aware that the Government has extended the Free School Meal voucher system to cover the summer holidays. I am delighted that, at this difficult time, our students and their families will continue to be supported by this measure – Leicestershire County Council Information Leaflet on Free School Meals
For some families, their circumstances may have changed during the Covid 19 lockdown. If you think you may now qualify for support, I have added a letter here for you to follow – Information about Free School Meals criteria and application process

Your school team has also been supporting some families with food hampers as an alternative. It is vital that these families are now supported to switch to the national voucher scheme run by Edenred so that they can receive vouchers over the summer break. If you do receive a school hamper, please follow this link for advice on how to move over to the voucher scheme – How to switch from hampers to National Free School Meal voucher scheme

If you have any concerns, or would like more information, please call your child’s school directly . Alternatively you can email us at [email protected]

Charles Dickens: 150th anniversary of his death

9th June 2020Miss A Masih

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”
― Charles Dickens

The museum of Charles Dickens are very excited to be releasing the first of a new collection of colourised photographs of the great author, to mark his 150th anniversary of his death today. He is famous for writing the novella ‘A Christmas Carol’ as well as Oliver Twist’ and many other famous novels.

The image shows Charles Dickens in 1859, aged forty-seven, with a warm expression, looking directly at the camera.

See details of a virtual online event to mark his anniversary here.
